History

Mama Digdown's Brass Band was formed by two former University of Wisconsin-Madison music students, Eric Jacobson and Christopher Ohly.[1] The group played its first shows in Madison, Wisconsin in 1993, at the local Art Fair on the Square. They released four full-length albums over the next several years, and followed with the live album Delicious, recorded in Madison, in late 2002.[2]

The group has done concert tours across the United States and Europe.[3][4] Their 2006 live album Ascona was recorded at a Switzerland jazz festival.[5] In December 2009 they released their fifth studio album, We Make 'Em Say Ooh,[6][7] and followed up the album's release with shows during Mardi Gras season in New Orleans.[8] They are planning to release an album of Michael Jackson covers entitled Brass Jackson in 2016.[9]
