Logan Peters

Logan Peters is an environmental communicator, pedal steel guitar (learner), and all-around sound enthusiast currently pursuing an MA in Media Studies. She holds a degree in communications, with a major in journalism and a minor in English from Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta.

She is a passionate and curious storyteller with over ten years of experience working in the field of communications and sound design. A typical workday consists of donning waders and documenting the installation of beaver coexistence tools, or interviewing a rancher or farmer about their sustainable farming practices. In 2025, she was awarded a grant by the Canada Council for the Arts to further her study of the pedal steel guitar, which she is excited to integrate into her research-creation project.

She is fascinated by the intersections between affects and feelings, sounds, and opinions. In particular, she hopes to explore how the sounds made by the pedal steel guitar can shape, even intervene with how listeners collectively experience feelings of yearning associated with ecological grief.

You can hear her live on CJLO 1690AM hosting her pedal steel-focused radio show called “Twang City” every Monday from noon-1pm EST.

Thesis title: The Crying Guitar: Exploring Interventions Between the Sonic Effects of the Pedal Steel Guitar and Collective Ecological Grief (Working Title)
