Skydiggers
Band Toronto Formed 1987 Canadian roots rock band
Skydiggers formed in 1987 in Toronto. Skydiggers has 2 chart appearances on 1 radio countdown from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 1991. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “1 Will Give You Everything”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #315. The station that charted Skydiggers most often is CFNY 102.1 The Edge (Toronto, ON), with 2 appearances.
Skydiggers came together in Toronto in 1987, the work of Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson, and they play roots rock the way the best bar bands do: warm, unhurried and built on songs rather than showing off. Their self-titled album arrived in 1990 with "Monday Morning", with Enigma Records behind them.
The lineup has never sat still. Peter Cash was in the band from 1987 to 1996, Joel Anderson played drums, Ron Macey, Noel Webb, Ronnie Von Johnnie, Wayne Stokes, Michael Sloski and Peter von Althen have all been part of it at one time or another, and Jessy Bell Smith and Paul MacLeod turned up in 2009.
The labels changed too, but Maize and Finlayson kept at it: 19 albums and EPs since 1990, a run of singles on the Canadian charts, and Restless, from 1992, still the one that did best of all.
