Shake what your Mama gave ya!

In an effort to continue to introduce to you more entertainers that you may have never heard of, today I chose to bring a funky street jazz band with a New Orleans style - residing in Wisconsin. Not only do they gig in Chicago, Minneapolis and everywhere in between... they've also played at jazz festivals in Switzerland and New Orleans, have been invited to play elite parties and you can also find them occasionally in New York, Seattle and other random cities throughout the states.

For the past 18 years Mama Digdown's has traveled the world spreading the gospel of New Orleans brass band music. While Mama Digdown's nods respectively to the tradition of New Orleans jazz, the street beat they add has earned them the reputation as one of the hottest and hardest hitting brass bands. Mama Digdown's has played hundreds of shows in their time together and is equally at home in concert halls and in the second line parades of New Orleans. The band has shared bills with such musical legends as The Neville Brothers, Dr. John, The Dirty Dozen and Buddy Guy. Bob French, New Orleans drummer and former member of Fats Dominos band, said of Mama Digdown's "I don't know if the folks up there in Wisconsin know what they have, these Digdown cats can play!" Whether you catch them uptown, downtown or back-o–town, Mama Digdown's Brass Band will make you shake what your mama gave ya!
