about

We created Digs in Session in the hope of capturing that live Dignitary sound — minimal takes, group mic’ing, just going at it the way we do onstage. Here you’ll find the full spectrum of OD repertoire: our classic Eastern European dance rep (Čaje Šukarije, Zalyubih Mamo Tri Momi, and so on), our forays into the West (Rock of Ages, Canción del Mariachí) and Middle East (Habibi Ya Noor Il-Ain, Hele Mali), and our more recent African adventures (Sara, Fouta, etc.). A special thank you to veteran sound engineer Eric Mott for graciously offering his time and expertise to record us in his beautiful studio in Lewisville, Texas!
