Digging Roots
Digging Roots utilize traditional and contemporary artistic practices, themes, traditions, forms, and are committed to and influenced by, the broad and diverse music community and creative culture that we live in. They pursue their art as a means of survival personally and culturally, as a way to know their own truth, as a way of connecting with community, as a means of resistance, as a tool of positive change, as an instrument of joy, as a way to keep tradition alive, and as a way to move forward.
Logan Staats
Logan is fresh off his win on The Launch, a new TV show that gives Canadian singers a shot at stardom. Staats was chosen out of 10,000 applicants to be featured on the inaugural season of the series, and was mentored by Canadian country megastar Shania Twain. The song that Staats performed is called The Lucky Ones, and was written by Grammny nominated songwriter busbee.
What’s more, The Lucky Ones topped the Canadian charts as the number one song in the country the day after the release. Ingrained with the mentality that anything is possible when you put your heart and soul into it, Staats is hell bent on raising the bar for indigenous/mainstream crossover music.
Quique Escamilla
Quique Escamilla was born and raised in the tropical southern lands of Chiapas, Mexico. Today, Quique is an internationally accomplished multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, who won the JUNO Award for World Music Album of the Year and the Canadian Folk Music Award for World Solo Artist of the Year.
