Legendary Canadian Rockers Bring a Stripped Down Acoustic Concert to Canvas Brewery
Chemistry, passion, energy and evolution are a few words that come to mind when Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson talk about more than twenty-five years together in Skydiggers. Thanks to years on the road and in the studio, Skydiggers are not only riding all of those years of momentum but continuing to evolve as well. According to Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson, one of the keys is chemistry. “You can spend your life searching for chemistry” Andy muses. “For any relationship to remain vital and continue to grow you need chemistry. We were lucky to have found that early on with each other.”
One day, if someone with perfect penmanship and a great memory for details takes up a Canadian Rock Family Tree project and plots the development of the Canadian roots rock community, they may discover that many – if not all – branches and roots at some point interconnect with the Skydiggers. “We’ve played with other people, other people have come into this circle and played with us. They’ve put their stamp on our music. But we recognize there is something consistent and something we all value that is threaded through all our records.” says Finlayson. Maize deeply appreciates the contributions of every artist who has played with the Skydiggers over the years. “We realize how fortunate we are to be part of a community. And so everybody is a Skydigger – past, present and future.”
