Diggin' Dirt

On Wednesday, October 21st the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Diggin’ Dirt to the WOW Hall. From behind the redwood curtain of Humboldt County, California, the seven piece funk-soul band Diggin Dirt has carved out a niche as a live party not to be missed. Shoveling their own path, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth over the past few years, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise, High Sierra, Hulaween, Same Same but Different, Live Oak, Cascade Equinox, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more. Per a 2024 Jam Cruise writer, “This was the soul music I grew up with in the ‘60s and ‘70s, but Iconfess I wasn’t expecting [Diggin Dirt] to be throwing it down this hard. This group is impossibly tight, and Zach Alder might be the best soul shouter I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a few.” Their infectious sound is fueled by blazing horns, searing guitars and a relentlessly driving rhythm section, and tying it all together is the band’s frontman who launches the ensemble into rarefied air with his pipes, charisma and natural-born soul. With flashes of James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone, Otis Redding or Tower of Power, the band’s sound is both familiar andyet refreshingly original, layering psychedelic rock, Motown soul, afrobeat and even reggae a top a thick foundation of late-60s inspired funk.
