16 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Adult Alternative Pop/Rock, ROCK: Experimental Rock
Details:
Diga is a Tlicho (Dogrib) word meaning wolf
Diga (frontman: Jesse James gon) is originally from the Tlicho community of Ft. Rae, Northwest Territories.
Jesse James is a passionate guitarist (electric and acoustic) who plays and sings with great respect for the land, the Tlicho culture and the elders. Diga’s music is dynamic, ethereal and very emotional. Diga draws his inspiration from the earth and the conflicts that arise from the evolution of his native culture, and his place in that evolution. Diga’s music is refreshingly honest, seeking truth. Every song is an explosion of imagery, that takes you on a ride across the Northern landscapes and into the hearts of the people that live there.
Diga performs live as a three piece band: electric guitars, bass and drums/percussion. Diga’s musical influences are continually evolving. They include: Hendrix, Santana, Chuck Berry, Kashtin, Tom Waits, The Rolling Stones and David Gon.
