Bringing a fresh sound to the Milwaukee music scene, Digbii delivers a powerful blend of original composition and improvisation. Creating and performing music with a mix of catchiness and complexity, Digbii takes inspiration from diverse influences including the music we were brought up on - Steely Dan, Pink Floyd - and the music we’re listening to now - Snarky Puppy, Little Big, Fellowship Band.

The Milwaukee roots in Digbii run deep. Dave and Brian have been stalwarts in the jazz scene for decades as members of The Clams / Clamnation among other groups. Saul is an up and coming mutli-instrumentalist and founding member of the “frog-rock” band, Fightin’ Bob. Craig has been playing in and around Milwaukee for nearly 20 years playing with Clamnation and the Ryan Meisel Quartet. Digbii was formed in 2014 as an outlet for 20 years of compositions that had not found a home.

LIVE AT THE LANDING

David Dinauer - Bass
Brian Dietz - Guitar
Saul Dinauer - Drums

Recorded live at The Landing in Wauwatosa in June 2025. After several years of changing line-ups and new songwriting, we finally captured the new sound of Digbii playing at one of our favorite places, The Landing at Hoyt Park. We have played there every summer since 2015 and the crowd is always up for a good time. These tunes capture some of the material that we’ve been working on, with several of them being debuted at this show.

LIVE AT GLENDALE DAYS

Craig Rigby - Keyboards
David Dinauer - Bass
Jay Arpin - Drums
Ryan Meisel - Saxes

Recorded live at Glendale Days in Glendale, WI on July 4th, 2017. We were a late fill-in for another band that dropped out of the line-up so this show became the first in a week of five shows in seven days. We were pretty excited to play and that comes through in the energy. We were also debuting a couple tunes and still learning how we were going to play them (you can tell). Overall, this was one of our favorite shows of last summer because the crowd was great, the sound was great and energy was great.

LONELY STAR

Craig Rigby - Keyboards
David Dinauer - Bass
Jay Arpin - Drums
Ryan Meisel - Saxes

Our debut album was recorded between January and March of 2017. We had solidified the line-up over the previous several months and felt it was time to get some of the music recorded. The tracks are a mix of things we had been playing for a while and tunes written in the month before recording started. We are proud of the effort and happy to have these moments captured in recordings that we can share.

A special note about G-Man - This tune is dedicated to Keith who continues to fight the good fight.

Recorded at Tanner-Monagle Studios
