Pronouns: She/Her

Caleigh has been sneaking out to see shows in Minneapolis since the early 2000’s and has been a part of many DIY spaces and venues across the Twin Cities. While attending the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, she found Radio K and was able to join the staff first as Traffic Director, then was promoted to Music Director shortly after. While serving as Music Director, Caleigh was nominated for two awards at CMJ: Music Director of the Year and Outstanding Leadership in College Radio. She also served as Program Director for Radio K before graduating in December 2012 with a Bachelor of Individualized Studies in Art, Theatre Arts, & Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature.  

Caleigh was hired as a Booking Assistant at First Avenue in August of 2013 where she learned what it takes to make a show happen. She was promoted to Talent Buyer and was in charge of booking, settling, and advancing shows. 

After leaving First Avenue at the end of 2016, Caleigh worked as a stagehand and audio assistant for Slamhammer Productions, booked Punk Bowling at Memory Lanes, managed her father’s podcast network and website, and worked at The Mill NE as a wait assist. She briefly worked for Amsterdam Bar & Hall in 2019 as an Assistant Event Manager before being hired as a neighborhood organizer for St. Anthony East Neighborhood Association. During the 2020 uprising, Caleigh started working in shelters in an effort to more directly assist her community. Caleigh joined The Cedar’s team in September of 2021.

Caleigh has a beautiful 6yo mutt named Shadow who loves love and demands snuggles. When she’s not out at shows, she’s probably hanging with Shadow at the dog park or at home.
