Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Digbees.

The Digbees are a 5 piece Adult Alternative/Roots Rock band performing in the New Hampshire Seacoast region since Spring 2005. The band is comprisedof seasoned rock veterans in their creative prime hailing from New England to Chicago.

The Digbees have licensed songs for use in prime time network TV programs ("Veronica Mars", “Greek”), film ("Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach" starring Randy Quaid) and composed the theme song for the popular webcast series, “High Heel Samurai”.

The band's latest release, "Orphans of Graceland", has people talking from New England to Nashville. Jason Ringenberg (of Jason & the Scorchers fame) calls it, "a world where rock 'n' roll history matters, songs are more than exersises in craft, and the Muse-ic is as important as the mortgage. Amen."
