• Jo Digs Gypsy Parade has been in existence since mid 2000. They have played well over 800 shows and have gone through a couple of line up changes. They have been inspired by and compared to many different artists including Jack Johnson, Ben harper and similar acts. Originally they were a 5 piece band for for most of 2000-2003. After they had established themselves by playing festivals, such as The Riverbend Music Fest(2002,2007) and out of town shows; Major College Fraternity Parties ect.. Like many bands there was a split in late 2003. One half founded the talented jam band Sloppy Roast Beef while two original members continued as Jo Digs Band, but as an acoustic duo. In early 2004 they added a veteran percussionist/drummer from the bands: Milele Roots, Sweet Bangin A, The Phibs, Ten Cent Whiskey... and just happens to be a cousin of the lead singer. Jo Digs Band continued playing shows as a threesome all around their home town of Chattanooga, Tn. and venturing regionally. Everyone continued to write and work the songs into the set list. The crowds are very receptive to the new Digs boy's as they put a twist to there own Acoustic Folk/Reggea, with two and three part harmonies. Then Hurricane Katrina sent them a veteran Funky Jazz bass player from New Orleans, La.. With the passing of each show they become a more tight nit crew, personally as well as musically. The foursome mesh very well and many new songs have been added to their live show, and it seems that more and more doors are starting to open. They play a large variety of venues and there fan base is spreading and becoming more diverse. They now are in the process of solidifying which of there originals to put on there CD. If you are interested in booking please feel free to contact...they are down to play anywhere anytime..
