Digney Fignus

Digney has been big part of the Boston music scene for some time. His latest CDs are “TROUBLE ON THE LEVEE” and “TALK OF THE TOWN”, which was released in the fall of 2007.

Digney Fignus is a Boston based singer/songwriter. He arrived on the scene in the 80’s playing guitar and singing in a three-piece Boston punk band called the SPIKES. Scoring on local radio with songs like “Air Raid” and “Summer Vacation”, The Spikes performed for underground loft shows that eventually led Digney to run one of the first “Punk” night clubs in Boston, Streets. Digney’s big break came in 1984 when he won the MTV basement tapes with his hit song and video “THE GIRL WITH THE CURIOUS HAND”. This led to a follow up 1985 release on Columbia Records.

In 1996, Digney won the WZLX Boston Anthem contest with his song “BOSTON TOWN”. The song is featured on the four-song CD “BOSTON TOWN” which received critical acclaim and was nominated for record of the year, by the Mass Country Music Awards Association. “End of the Line” from the same CD won one of the song of the year awards.
