DiggerWorks is about supporting grassroots indie artists supporting grassroots people-first movements and organizations supporting indie artists supporting people-first movements...and so on, in a virtuous spiral (hopefully upward!).
The name is inspired by a group of folks active during the Haight-Ashbury outbreak of 66-67, "The Diggers". See "The Digger Papers" (1968), diggers.org. These folks in turn derived their name from some folks who, during the revolutionary turmoil in England in the 17th century, began cultivating common land for the benefit of all.
In short, we look into the past to bring the future more assured! Upcoming Artist Performances:
Struts & Frets will ply and play their "commie cowboy soul music" Sat., Nov. 17, 7:30-9:30 PM at Victor's Celtic Coffeehouse, 7993 Gilman St., Redmond, right by the intersection of Redmond Way and 164th NE. Phone #: 425 881 6451.
The core lineup for the show: Son Struts (aka Tommy T. Payne or Andy) - acoustic guitar w/pickup, harmonica, vocals; Freddy Frets - electric guitar; Wesley "Firetop" Amundsen- bass; Paul "Paul" Spitalny - eclectic electric guitar. Additional special guests may sit in.
NO COVER. ALL AGES. Hope you can make it!
