Because they understand those influences‚ yet create their own unique sound.
Because it's genuine‚ smart songwriting.
Because she's been a naughty girl‚ apparently.
Because David Baldwin's solid guitar work flows seamlessly from bold bluesy attacks to gentle‚ dreamlike soundscapes.
Because The Dig have a maturity of sound that belies their age and experience.
