Peter Goggin is one of the new dynamic and individual jazz artists to emerge on the Twin Cities music scene. He graduated from Mounds View High School and completed his studies at the University of Michigan in 2019. Peter’s often seen playing around Minneapolis and St. Paul music venues, having performed as a sideman and leader at Vieux Carre, Saturday Night Jazz at the Black Dog, Jazz Central, and during the Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Some of his proudest collaborative projects locally include Hoaxer, the Twin Cities Glass Bead Games Project, the Minnesota Hard Bop Collective, and the Inatnas Orchestra (led by JC Sanford and Asuka Kakitani). Peter was a featured soloist with the University of Michigan Jazz Ensembles at the 2016 and 2017 Detroit Jazz Festivals and was a three-year member of the Dakota Combo in high school. Since moving back to the Twin Cities, he’s been enjoying playing gigs at local venues and breweries, as well as teaching music at Walker West Music Academy. This outstanding quintet also features Cyrus Wilson, an up-and-coming home-grown Jazz Trumpeter, who has played kj’s hideaway in a few different configurations over the past two years. He is perhaps the best ever Jazz improvising High School age Trumpet player in Minnesota music history. He plays at or above the level of a young John Raymond or a young Greg Paulus or a young Steve Wagner, or a young Steve Kenny, or a young Dave Jensen or a young Kelly Rossum. Rare company for new Trumpet artist.
