Bio
About The GoldDiggers: One of "the more rockin' alt-country bands to break through..." (HicksWithSticks.com) Blending a love of Texas songwriters and the rock and roll energy of the Rolling Stones, The GoldDiggers sprang onto the scene in the Spring of 2008 with a live performance on world-renowned KPIG Radio and a string of highly charged shows throughout the honky-tonks and dives of San Francisco. Winning fans over one drink at a time, the band played such notable venues as Cafe Du Nord, Make-Out Room, and The Starry Plough, and continued to experiment with the sound as piano, lap steel, and mandolin were featured alongside the trademark twanging guitar and tight rhythm section. The GoldDiggers released their self-titled debut on iTunes in the second half of 2010, just as the band was rediscovering it's stripped-down roots, and the core trio showcased their songs in the famed Poster Room of the historic Fillmore Auditorium, opening shows for the likes of Robert Earl Keen and Drive-By Truckers, and ringing in 2011 with SF's own Chris Isaak. ************************************************ About Ted O'Connell: I play the 4-string Fender Bass. Mostly Roots/Americana, Pop/Rock styles. I currently perform with reunion supergroup M.E.L.T. as we play the songs of our teenage years for your enjoyment. Recent live and studio credits include Austin-based singer/songwriter Brittany Shane, pop/roots band Great Highway, singing cowgirl Kitty Rose, country band Crooked Roads, and more singer/songwriters than you can shake a cutaway Taylor at. Along the way I've played in local bands with members of The Tubes, 4 Non Blondes, The Ike & Tina Turner Review, and Commander Cody. -
