THE GROOVE DIGGERS

About Me

Tune in and turn on to the great new sound from The Groove Diggers. These guys are relentless in their aim to make music in the most authentic way possible. Real Raw Rockabilly - with a straight 3 piece.These guys are no Johnny-Come-Latelies either - they've been digging the scene for a good few years now and recognised that rockabilly music was moving away from the bare stripped-down sound and are here to set that right.Joe sings and strums - writing many of the bands songs. Influenced by Bobby Wayne and Hasil Adkins - he can punch out those vocals. Jimmy picks and plays in the style of the late, great Luther Perkins - then he can switch & send that guitar into mind-blowing Link Wray style licks and Bo Diddley rhythms. Kev slaps and plucks that bass with style and panache - making it look so easy. He's a lover (not a fighter) of all things big, bass and from a bottle. Jack Daniels of course!The Groove Diggers have great rapport on stage and this really comes across. The band have had a busy 12 months - they've played to over 4,000 at the Hangar is Rockin in Swizterland. The GrooveDiggers were the showcase band at Lets Get Wild 2007/08 - first to take to the stage, where they won the crowd over!! WOW what a show - check out the video.The band are writin' and recording their own material, and hope to have another release by the end of the year. Catch y'all soon at High Rockabilly or the Ubangi Stomp festival.
