With a new album on the way later this year and a show at Shakori Hills this weekend, the Shoaldiggers return to the studio for Live & Local!

After releasing four EPs in the last two years, the Shoaldiggers are getting set to drop what will be their second full-length album, “Wind, Wires, and Ways to Wander.” They’re playing twice at Shakori Hills this weekend: Thursday, May 5, at 8:30 p.m., and Saturday, May 7, at 12:30 p.m.

Five members of the band stopped by 97.9 The Hill this week to chat about the album and the upcoming shows – and to play three new songs, “New Eagle Blue,” “Good Love,” and “Pile of Sins.” Listen below!
