Watch 100 shows of The Digs, and you’ll never experience the same
one twice. Songsmiths, Simon Thomas George and Ram Mandelkorn, push
beyond what is comfortable to continuously take their music to new and
higher grounds. There is no shortage of inspiration. A unique
concoction of funk, soul, RnB and jazz, The Digs have been turning
heads and gaining national attention over the past year from their
home base of Asheville, North Carolina. With a rotating door of 3
seriously exceptional drummers, Claude Coleman (of Ween), Jaze Urias
(The Broadcast) and Phill Bronson (formerly of Jonathan Scales
Fourchestra), constant rejuvenation comes easy.
This year has been a big one for The Digs. They released their first
full length album, which has been affectionately embraced with regular
rotation by radio stations across WNC. This is something of an anomaly
for a jazz/funk instrumental trio. Their self-titled debut colors the
spaces between a rich array of influences, most notably, Herbie
Hancock, Robert Glasper, Wes Montgomery, John Scofield and Derek
Trucks. Ram’s buttery guitar stylings are incredibly soulful, and
his melodic sensibility plays a dynamic role in their immediate
familiarity. Simon is something of a wizard on the keyboard. At 24, he
has an striking handle on his instrument. He is both the bassist and
keyboardist, grooving the left hand synth-bass while his right hand
flies independently across the spectrum of his keyboard. They have had
countless show dates near and far this year, most notably opening for
The New Mastersounds at Isis Music Hall, and two tours to Caribbean
paradise, The Virgin Islands.
Each drummer brings their distinct influence to the band: Claude has
spent the last 15 years of his epic career drumming for rock fusion
pioneers, Ween, and gives the perfect amount of raw edge to their
sleek sound. Jaze has remarkably intricate tendencies on the kit, and
possibly conjures the most jazzy flavors of The Digs. Phill lives way
in the deep pocket, but is as versatile as he is soulful. All three
drummers demonstrate remarkably high artistry with their individual
sounds, making it about impossible to pick a favorite.
