Album Notes

While many bands have the life span of a cold can of beer at a 4th of July picnic, Mama Digdown's Brass Band is still going strong after a decade of recording and performing live music around the country. The band celebrates its ten year anniversary with this new album, "Digdown Decade: Best of Mama Digdown's"

Not only has Mama Digdown's been regulars of the Midwest music scene, they are also regulars in the city of New Orleans. Seven years ago, Digdown's first album made its way into the jukebox of a New Orleans jazz club, Donna's Bar. Shortly after that, the band was asked to come down and play at the club. Since then, the band has made nearly 30 trips to the Crescent City performing at clubs, parties, and parades all over the city.

Mama Digdown's has formed close relationships with many of the brass band in New Orleans such as The Rebirth Brass Band, Dirty Dozen and the Hot 8. It is not unusual to see members of these bands and others joining Digdown's onstage at their shows in New Orleans.

The Digdown Decade features Mama Digdown's most requested songs and ones that have recieved the most significant radio air-play. The album also includes two songs that are previously unreleased on previous Mama Digdown's albums.
