Kendra Borgen
From Alaska to Amsterdam
Born into a Reagan-era hunter-gatherer society in Alaska, Kendra started playing saxophone at age 8 inspired by the musical stylings of Lisa Simpson. After surviving the treacherous journey down the infamous Alaskan-Canadian hi-way in 1999 to study music in Oregon, she left the US in 2004 in search of a better life (and an affordable Master’s degree), buying a one-way ticket to Amsterdam never to look back and has been entertaining folks in Amsterdam ever since. Come listen to Kendra’s journey from the hilariously rugged outback of Alaska to the chaos of Amsterdam’s canals.
