Hattie "Mama Mire" Boggs

Nobody agrees on where Hattie “Mama Mire” Boggs came from. Some say the shacks by Murkwater; others swear she rose out of the black marsh on a radstorm night with a half-empty bottle and a voice big enough to shake the lights in Goodneighbor.

She earned the name Mama Mire the hard way, singing through smoke, heartbreak, hunger, and bad decisions until every cracked note turned to truth. In the clubs and alley bars of the Commonwealth, she became the sound of last call, lost love, and one more shot of courage.

A fictional musical persona from the Goodneighbor Blues project.
