About the Show
In today’s serious climate, the need for good entertainment has never been
greater. The Digger Stevens Band, a dynamic musical trio, surprisingly
provides a big professional sound at listen-ably lower audio volumes that allows
for audience conversation. Also, The Digger Stevens Band “is a fun band for
people who are already having fun.” And we have a following. The band now
performs warm weather, outdoor, on the green, gazebo, or public concerts -
and excels at it. We are also available for private parties and special
weddings.
Concert latecomers surprisingly report that the band sounds larger than just
three musicians. Blended together; Digger, Mark, and Sonny provide good
music, entertainment and humor, turning your venue into a real party.
Audience participation is also provided in the show as Digger connects with the
audience. The Band’s repertoire meets select quality requirements such as;
entertain-ability, uniqueness (chances are that we play the ‘b-side of the hit), a
sense-of-humor, lyrical appeal, and a foot tapping beat at the very least. Our
selection of music is in the genres of; Rhythm & Blues, Boogie, and Swing -
mostly from the ‘30s, ‘40s &’50s. This insures that your audience has a positive
experience and is in much better state than before they came.

well! Marc also sings rich harmonies that add depth to the band's vocals. Marc lays down
his classic bottom lines in the band on his vintage Fender Telecaster Bass. An
accomplished musician, Marc is the other half of our driving rhythm section. Harmonica

An accomplished musician, Sonny’s adept guitar work and vocal harmony complete the
band. Sonny's fingers will dance through the changes and solo with technical proficiency,
melodic lines, or sassy blues riffs. Sonny still duplicates signature chops of B.B. King,
Muddy Waters, Albert King, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughn in tribute for you.
Performing with the Digger Stevens Band for over 25 years, Sonny was also once a
sideman in the back up group for Grammy Award Nominee; Fred Parris and the Satins (“In
