Though from Madison, Mama Digdown’s Brass Band specialty is New Orleans Jazz. The members have traveled and played at multiple stages over the two decades they have been together, and they have shared stages with artists such as The Neville Brothers and Dr. John. With eight members, their sound resonates powerfully into the crowd. The combination of trumpets, trombones, saxophone, and drums will give us jiving songs like “Red Dress,” and “Mojito.” While Mama Digdown's nods respectively to the tradition of New Orleans jazz, the street beat they play has earned them the reputation as one of the hottest and hardest hitting brass bands around. Mama Digdown's has played hundreds of shows and is equally at home in concert halls, festivals, clubs and parades. www.mamadigdown.com
