2Digh4

There was a time when we roamed freely to our favorite watering holes, toasted with friends, and caught the great sounds of powerful guitar chords and heavy drumbeats echoing up and down the town. Those times aren’t gone, just temporarily set aside while the world tries to get a handle on things. Life is slowly returning to normal. We are getting back to restaurants, having a drink at bars, and occasionally catching the perfect rift floating on the air as bands resume their rightful places entertaining the masses on chilly Friday and Saturday nights. Enter 2Digh4.

These Fuquay natives, born and raised, have had their eyes on making a name for themselves (and putting Fuquay-Varina on the map) since childhood. Today, they rock to their own beats and continue proving their worth in a crowded field of rising musicians. Heavily influenced by the likes of Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Lynyrd Skynyrd and so many more, 2Digh4 is right at home rocking the small stage of local bars or blasting the airwaves at major venues. This talented group has already started their breakout and the future is bright. But who are they? Where did they come from?

The brothers Digh (pronounced die- which you have just realized makes the band name make sense) were born with their musical abilities. Landon, the oldest, started piano lessons in third grade while his younger brother, Aubrey, took to the keys in first grade. Driven to learn and develop, Landon joined the Ensemble at Fuquay-Varina Middle School and learned to sing.

The brothers remained in quiet competition throughout their school days. This rivalry inspired them to new and creative heights that continue resonating today. One took up the trumpet so the other picked up a violin. Very few can claim to have raw musical talent, but these boys were naturals. Landon went on to join the Fuquay-Varina High School marching band and was soon singing the national anthem at school sporting events and other local venues. Landon received so much attention and praise for his abilities, the school choir director asked him to join. Not only was this unheard of, but it was also an honor he could not refuse.

Not to be outdone, Aubrey accepted the challenge and was soon standing beside his big brother blaring out the national anthem in front of cheering crowds. Their fame took them as far as the opening act at Carolina Mudcat baseball games. Like all things, however, high school came to an end and the brothers were trapped between following their dreams and becoming adults in a world where the bottom line came first.

That life stole them across the state to the halls of ECU, where they majored in social work. They never stopped plotting and planning for the day when they could strike out and make music their full-time careers. The dream of becoming original artists in a landscape filled with cover bands pulled at them.

Inspiration for the band name was born one quiet afternoon when an old guitar teacher commented that if they ever decided to form a band it should be called To Digh For. A spark ignited and, after fiddling with it, the brothers settled on 2Digh4. They now had a name, plenty of talent, and were ready to launch. There was only one thing missing: the rest of the band.

Filling out a band takes time, patience, and occasionally more than one or two members before they get it right and discover their sound. Think of all the great bands that broke up before their time due to irreconcilable differences. For each of those, there are others who stood the test of time and became legends. 2Digh4 is heading in that direction.

Aubrey stumbled upon Mike Kachman in 2016 when the band was in dire need of a replacement bassist. Thrilled with the opportunity, Mike jumped in and claimed his place. Much like the brothers, music has always been part of Mike’s life. He has been an instructor, performer, judge and arranger with several groups. A seasoned veteran, Mike has worked up and down the east coast for over three decades before settling in with the Digh brothers and finding his home.

With their bassist locked in, Landon and Aubrey turned their eyes on the fourth and final member: a drummer to provide a signature beat. In stepped Melody Ballard. She picked up her father’s sticks when she was just a child and fiddled around for a few years. It wasn’t until four years ago that she began drumming seriously. Like any musician in a rising band, Melody makes ends meet by working in sales and devoting her free time volunteering with different local animal rescue organizations. Energetic and charismatic, Melody was everything the band needed.

Their final lineup gelled from the first practice. Now all they needed was a direction and enough exposure to give 2Digh4 the chance to carve out their space in the music world. Ask any artist and they will tell you success is never given, but earned. Nothing replaces hard work and diligence, burning the midnight oil to ensure your sound is right and your lyrics draw in the crowds, and keep them coming back. Together, they spent countless hours perfecting their sound and stage presence.

Before Covid-19 shut the world down they were on their way. The band opened for Florida-Georgia Line & Cole Swindell at the Carolina Country Music Festival, has stood on stage in front of tens of thousands of roaring fans at the Coca-Cola 600 and was slated to perform at the NC State Fair.

Their songs have been played on several major country radio stations and their song, Indefinitely, topped the charts and has received national attention. Not only was it the #1 country radio single, it spent four weeks at that spot on a top ten station. Their success is no accident and just a taste of greater things yet to come. Fans of WQDR might remember hearing an interview a while back as the band presented their hit single, North Carolina.

The combination of country, pop, and contemporary Christian makes them the definition of Americana music. 2Digh4 brings a presence and sound to the stage that is unique and entertaining. The landscape is changing, slowly getting back to normal and the band is gearing up to rock the stage as often and as loud as possible. People want to get out, they want to get back to doing what defined their lives. That means live music on a Friday night. That means 2Digh4 reclaiming their rightful place on stage.

Landon, Aubrey, and Melody still live and work in Fuquay so if you see them swing by and say hello. Nothing replaces the feeling of home, but these powerhouse brothers want to establish 2Digh4 as an original artist recognized around the world while staying humble and remembering their roots. No matter where they go or how successful they become, Fuquay-Varina will always be home.

Big time sound with small town roots, 2Digh4 has become the kind of band that represents what it means to be from Fuquay-Varina. Their love for music and their hometown is evident in each chord and rhythmic drumbeat from the moment they step on the stage to the final encore after each performance. This band lives for each other and remains connected to the small town they call home. - Suburban Living

Chart-topping Fuquay-Varina band plays from the heart

It’s a warm night at Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheatre in April. As the sun sets, a four-person band performs an eclectic combination of country twang, rock guitar and thoughtful lyrics.

It’s a one-of-a-kind sound created by brothers Landon and Aubrey Digh and their band 2Digh4 (pronounced two-die-four). This hometown group is familiar to many, hailing from Fuquay-Varina and regularly performing across the Triangle (and beyond), but their dreams don’t stop there.

The Digh brothers, natives of Fuquay-Varina, have known music all their lives.

“There was always singing in our house,” says Kay Digh, mom to Landon, 28, and Aubrey, 26.

Landon and Aubrey credit their father, also a musician, for their inherited musical talent. But it was Kay who enrolled the brothers in their first piano lessons — with Diana Thomas at Fuquay’s Joyful Sounds Arts and Music Academy. Guitar lessons followed shortly thereafter.

“Aubrey could play by ear,” says Kay, who the brothers refer to as their backbone of support. “They both caught on immediately and loved it.”


2Digh4 released their first album in 2019. Landon, pictured here, usually sings lead vocals.

During middle school, both brothers added instruments to their skill set — trumpet for Landon and violin for Aubrey. And at Fuquay-Varina High, they participated in theater productions, singing and acting, as well as performing the national anthem at sporting events, thanks, in part, to encouragement from their high school chorus teacher, Ruth McCoy.

“She was more than just a chorus teacher; she really tried to speak to everyone individually. She would be there to talk about anything,” said Landon.

During those high school years, Landon and Aubrey began to experiment with writing their own music and performing duo shows.

“In high school, I had tried writing a song. It will always be that first song I wrote,” says Landon. “I can tell you exactly what it was and how it goes.

“We started doing duo gigs, thinking ‘Let’s try this out and see what happens.’ Some of these places want you to play for three hours, and that’s three hours worth of songs you have to learn. When you start out, you have nothing.”

Landon and Aubrey both attended East Carolina University earning degrees in social work — studying and playing music along the way.



“It helped us realize music is really our passion. It just doesn’t make sense to do anything else,” says Aubrey.

Landon wrote a song called “North Carolina,” a tribute to his home state, “sitting on the front porch” during his years at ECU. This song would eventually become the band’s first single, but first, served to springboard 2Digh4 to its first taste of fame.

The pair entered “North Carolina” in a 2016 Battle of the Bands competition sponsored by B93.9 New Country radio station, which they went on to win after two head-to-head concerts and an online vote.

The grand prize for winning — opening for country music superstars Florida Georgia Line and Cole Swindel at the Carolina Country Music Festival in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

“It was an awesome experience. We loved it,” says Landon. “It was our first taste of being a VIP.”

The band’s unique sound — what the Digh brothers call “country rock” — comes from a variety of influences.



“Nineties and early 2000s country is a big influence of ours,” says Aubrey. “We do some pop covers as well, and have some rock aspects. It’s kind of hard to put a finger on it exactly.”

He lists John Mayer, Keith Urban and Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts as strong musical influences, but also adds Reliant K, a Christian rock and punk band, and classic rock songs.

Aubrey describes 2Digh4 as: “A country written song, with Landon’s country twang, vocals and lyrics, along with some heavy crunching guitar.”

Their original songs are vocally driven, formed through a unique, collaborative writing process. For example, Landon will sketch out a melody, add lyrics, then pass the tune off to Aubrey to write the lead guitar part. The brothers involve their other band members, drummer Melody Ballard and bass player Mike Kachman to round out the sound.

Typically Landon sings lead vocals and plays acoustic guitar, sometimes banjo, while Aubrey jams the lead guitar and harmony vocals. But it’s not uncommon for their roles to switch.

“What seems to be our main draw is the brotherly harmonies. It’s something different, hard to explain, but most people can hear it,” says Landon.



The first album “4 the years gone 2 soon” was released in 2019, featuring 10 original songs, including their signature hit “North Carolina” and the single “Indefinitely,” which reached #1 on Country Digital Indie Music Charts in January 2021.

Throughout last year, 2Digh4 has been able to continue performing outdoors with safety precautions in place. One of their biggest shows took place last May at Scooters in Raleigh, just after the most intense shutdown restrictions were eased.

“People realized how much they needed music and arts during that time,” says Samantha Pulley, 2Digh4’s booking agent. “People realized how much they missed it. It was a really cool thing to see everybody come together for that show.”

This summer, the group is booked solid on Friday and Saturday nights, playing some weekday shows as well. You might find them at Buccaneer Music Hall in Greenville, Mike’s Farm in Beulaville, Big Mike’s BBQ in Apex, Belleau Wood Brewing in Lillington or Brixx Pizza in Cary, among many others.

Shows are typically half original songs, half covers, offering a good mix of 2Digh4’s unique sound and familiar hits.

“Their music has touched me a lot. I want other people to feel that, too,” says Pulley. “That’s what my goal with the booking is, to get them out there so other people can feel that.”


The band has played together since 2017, performing a mix of original songs and popular covers.

Kay Digh describes Landon as outgoing, gregarious, the leader of the pair. Aubrey is the peacemaker, she says, with a more reserved demeanor and sarcastic wit.

“They both have big hearts and would do anything for anybody.”

“I attend every single show, except during quarantine. I love to go to their shows,” Kay says, who works as a school psychologist at Fuquay-Varina Middle School. “I am so proud of them using their God-given talents.”

The brothers credit their faith as a fundamental influence on their lives. They both work as contemporary worship leaders for churches in Farmville, N.C., to which they commute every Sunday from Fuquay.

“As strong Christians, it has been a goal to inspire people not just with our music, but by staying as humble as we can be,” says Aubrey. “Showing people you can make a mark upon the world and still be who you are.”

Next up for 2Digh4 is a performance at the N.C. State Fair this fall, recording their second album and releasing a new single, called “Dang, Bro.”

“It’s got a Louisiana, swampy feel with banjo and some bluesy harmonica,” says Landon.

“They write from their experience,” says Kay. “About things that mean a lot to them.”

Even through the uncertainty of the last year, Landon and Aubrey want to get to know people at their shows, and interact with the crowd, she says.

“That’s the coolest thing to me when someone says, ‘I listen to your music. I’ve heard it; I love it,’” says Landon.

When someone tells you that such and such song that y’all wrote inspired me to be a better person, or inspired me to do something for someone else, that touches your heart.” - Main & Broad

Today we’d like to introduce you to Landon and Aubrey Digh.

Hi Landon and Aubrey, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Our story, or “journey” as we like to call it, began during our childhood years. We started taking piano lessons followed by guitar lessons at an early age and really continued to build onto our musical talents and interests in the years that followed up to where we are now.

I, Landon, ended up joining the band in middle school where I learned to play the trumpet, while my brother, Aubrey, took up the violin in the orchestra. During this time we learned even more about reading music and about the theory involved in it, but it wasn’t until high school that we both decided that we wanted to hone our musical skills and pursue it as a full-time career.

Now, jumping to high school, my mom had started pushing me to audition to sing the national anthem (I think she had seen a flyer or something like that in the school) to sing the national anthem for the high school sporting events. I guess she saw something in me singing-wise that I didn’t see in myself yet. I had never really sung anything except to myself in the shower or in the car while listening to my music. Ironically, I wasn’t even that big into making music or performing it much before my high school years.

Anyway, she kind of pressured me into auditioning, and looking back, I’m glad she did because I ended up going and trying out for it which pretty much jump-started my interest in performing and my recognition of having a voice. My voice cracked big time while I was auditioning in front of the choir teacher and some other students when I reached for the very high part of “and the rockets red glare” in the Star-Spangled Banner and just didn’t quite hit it.

It was quite embarrassing, to say the least. Of course, I didn’t get a callback or notified that I had gotten the part that year, but I was happy I tried. A lot of students there were choral students so she knew them and they had been trained for this kind of thing, but I figured I’d give it a try nonetheless.

Later that same year, I was sitting out waiting for my mom to pick me up and the next thing I know, Mrs. McCoy (the choir director who I auditioned for) comes out of the school, recognizes me, and said something along the lines of “I think you have a wonderful voice. It just needs a little bit of work and training, so I’d like for you to come to join my chorus class; I know we’d really love to have you and your voice.” I told her I’d think about it and get back to her, but before I had a chance, I received a phone call from her telling me she had gone ahead and dropped my foreign language from my class schedule and was signing me up for choir!

I didn’t resist at all, honestly, and while I was kind of taken aback by it, I thought it was the coolest thing, which is why I love retelling that part of the story these days. Therefore, I ended up joining the chorus which introduced me to the world of musicals because that’s just what the chorus and theater students did… performed in musicals. My first role was in Oliver! And I absolutely fell in love with the musical world after that. My brother, Aubrey, ended up coming into high school two years later and ended up joining the chorus and theatre group as well. That’s kind of where the start of our musical journey together came to be.

I think at this point both myself and Aubrey had started writing some songs at the same time we were doing this chorus and musical theater stuff. It was really cool to us that we had this musical talent, we sounded really good together, and people seemed to enjoy hearing us sing and play, so we decided to make it a duo thing and see where we could go with it. Back when we had been taking guitar lessons, our guitar teacher, Toni Stanley, had actually mentioned to us at one of our lessons that if we were to ever start a band, she thought it should be called “2Digh4” because of our last name, and it just ended up sticking.

From there on, Aubrey and I basically said let’s write some songs together perform as 2Digh4. We had and still do have the vision and dream of this turning into something bigger than we could ever imagine and we could go at it full time. It’s just what we wanted to do, and more importantly, what we believed God intended for us to do. We joined up and played at some of the talents shows the school had to offer over the years, some small local venues around the area, and both started singing the National Anthem for school sporting events. I was also in the marching band in high school on top of the chorus, and Aubrey was doing different things in music with music theory and choir as well.

We started at East Carolina University with the intent to major in music. We were planning on getting our bachelor’s Degrees in music but ended up not being too interested in having a background in Classical Music, which is what the School of Music at ECU focuses on. We wanted to focus more on what WE wanted to create our own songs with a more modern approach to music, so, in the end, we ended up getting out of the School of Music and stepping away from the Classical genre. Our plan had always been what we had discussed with our mom, which was once we got out of college we would really try to pursue our music career as hard as we could and see where it lead, but also wanted to have a college degree to fall back on just in case our planned career didn’t work out.

That was kind of the “pact” we made with our mom… she’d say “you can pursue your music as long as you want after college, but you’re going to have a college degree, that’s the deal.” Well, long story short, we ended up going for social work and both graduated with bachelor’s Degrees. I graduated in 2015 then Aubrey followed in 2016, then it was time to pursue our dream head-on. While in college, we both picked up jobs working at two different churches as worship leaders. Eventually, after we graduated, Aubrey stayed with the United Methodist Church as a contemporary worship leader in Farmville, NC and I picked up the job of contemporary worship leader at the Presbyterian Church in Farmville, NC as well.

We played a bunch of duo shows here and there, wherever we could find to play. We were just starting out so we didn’t know a whole lot about the industry as far as trying to do it full time. In 2017, we added our current members Melody Ballard on drums and Mike Kachman on bass to fill out the lineup, allowing us to play as a four-piece band. The two of them have really added to the sound we have always strived to achieve and always do a great job when performing. Aubrey and I would write and write and eventually ended up getting together enough songs to record a full-length album.

We went to the studio and got to record with some very talented and seasoned musicians (before Melody and Mike came on board). Joe Ballard is one of the guys who recorded with us and he is Melody’s father (Melody is our current drummer and Aubrey’s girlfriend). We had the pleasure of having Dan Grinstead on our first album as well and he is an extremely talented bass player. Both men helped us get the album together and recorded and were big influences on the work as well.

We had been working on perfecting these songs forever and we finally got it together and were able to record it and release the full album in September 2019. The July right before that we released our first single titled “North Carolina,” which was and still is a big hit with fans. We’ve been promoting the album ever since on social media and at shows, selling physical copies wherever we play as well as the songs digitally available on streaming platforms.

Back in 2020/2021, when everything was getting pretty rough with Covid-19, we did the best we could to play anywhere and everywhere still available for musicians to entertain. However, once quarantine came to be, as you can imagine, career musicians took a big hit financially due to the closings of restaurants and every venue out there. Fortunately, once everything started to open back up and quarantine was lifted, we were pretty successful with getting back into gear and playing places, having a pretty busy year for the remainder of it.

As a band, we are now working on recording our second album, which we couldn’t be more excited about and we hope to release it soon. It has been quite a journey that paints a picture of where we’ve been, where we’re at now, and where we’re headed. From magazine articles to social media promos to live shows, we’re trying to push our music anywhere and everywhere that wants to hear it; festivals, weddings, clubs, bars, wherever we can take it.

We continue to write music, steadily coming out with new songs, working on getting the new album and singles out, and just really hoping to achieve our goals and reach our dreams. We plan to make a trip out to Nashville later this year to bring our talents to the music city and see what happens…we hope you’ll follow our journey if you aren’t already!

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
One of the biggest challenges that we faced from early on in our journey was people that didn’t really believe in us or what we were setting out to accomplish. Now, don’t get me wrong, we did have a great amount of support from people who did believe in us such as our tight group of close family members and friends, but we also had plenty of naysayers as well. We had some people who just refused to believe in what we were trying to do and accomplish, no matter how good we were or would become.

Growing up, we were always taught there was a very slim chance of “making it” in music and we don’t really know how to put a definition on that because what “making it” means to one person may mean something entirely different to another. There’s always been this stigma with musicians and artists period. Meaning, if you did anything in the arts, you weren’t going to make a living at all. It seems to be an accepted part of society, at least in this country, to deter anyone from going into the arts simply because they were taught that anything involving the arts would not be “fulfilling.”

“You aren’t going to be able to pay the bills.” “This is just not a career.” We had a lot of that coming our way, and still do every now and then. We had a lot of people telling us that we needed to get a “real job”, to do something more meaningful, and we’ve always thought when hearing that, what can be more meaningful than music? They always say music makes the world go round, so I’ve always wondered, how can anyone say music isn’t meaningful? Or that it doesn’t have a place in society? That’s just always confused us, and I think it would be hard to find a single person who doesn’t listen to music.

Perhaps there is someone out there that doesn’t I supposed, because anything is possible, but music is just so universal, so it would be hard to come across someone like that. There were a lot of people that told us that they didn’t believe we could go the distance or that we could even get to where we are now. They didn’t believe we’d ever make a name for ourselves because, in some people’s eyes, music just isn’t a good career. Now, it does come with a lot of sacrifice and pressure and is by no means easy at any turn as some may have you believe, but we just ignore all of that and really try to stay true to who we are, even when people tell us no.

People would tell us how talented we were and tell us to pursue what we loved doing, then turn right around and discredit our decision to pursue music. It was difficult to hear those things but this is always what we’ve wanted to do and what we’re sticking with as long as we can. As long as God allows, we will continue to pursue this dream of writing and performing music. There are plenty of people who have proven that you can make a career with music and doing what you love, so if they can do it, why couldn’t we? That’s probably one of the biggest ongoing challenges we’ve faced.

When Covid-19 came into existence and quarantine took effect, it was really bad for everyone, including musicians and venues. The public and musicians couldn’t go to venues because they had to shut down, causing a lot of financial turmoil and strife. It was tough and a huge challenge for us, but we were fortunate and blessed to be able to find some other ways to play our music and promote it, allowing us to at least keep our music playing fresh. This was more towards the end of quarantine when things started opening back up and people really seemed to want the music back because they didn’t have it for so long.

We were fortunate to be able to pick back up and play a lot of great shows throughout the rest of that year. We stayed busy and we’re very blessed, but as I said, it was definitely a challenge. We didn’t know how we were going to make our money (with it being our full-time job) when we weren’t able to play and get out there to perform at venues and were forced to stay at home. We honed our skills, wrote some more, recorded videos for our church worship, and sent those in for the live streams that churches had started to do. That definitely helped quite a bit.

My (Landon’s) biggest personal challenge was when I ended up accidentally getting the tip of my left-hand pinky finger chopped off in the Summer of 2021. Without going into too much detail, I was carrying a futon made of solid oak into the house when it slipped and, by instinct, went to grab it so it wouldn’t hit the ground, not realizing my pinky was wedged between the hinge where two pieces of the wood clamped down on it with massive force, crushing the tip and cutting it off.

I’m right-handed so my chord hand when playing the guitar is my left hand which is the hand that my pinky got caught. I wasn’t able to play guitar for a few months, but after a lot of work and generous help from our bass player, Mike Kachman (hand specialist), I was able to recover quite a bit and picked my guitar back up, learning how to play without the tip. I’m still working on getting used to it being gone, but I’ve come a long way and I’m just thankful that I can still play because it could have been much worse. However, what a challenge!

Those are just a few obstacles/challenges we’ve faced along this journey and we know we will continue to face a lot more as this road continues, but we look forward to facing them head-on as we chase our dreams!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Aubrey and I are full-time musicians and 2Digh4 is our band.

Our band plays at numerous restaurants and bars, festivals, private parties, weddings, and amphitheaters around Raleigh and throughout other venues in NC. This year, we are looking to broaden our horizons and expand our reach to other territories, and we have our sights set on Nashville.

In addition, we are both contemporary worship leaders in Farmville, NC. Landon serves at the Presbyterian Church and Aubrey serves at the United Methodist Church. Landon and Aubrey both write and compose the original material (our own songs) for 2Digh4.

Landon has written a novel and several children’s books which he hopes to publish in the near future, and he is working on starting up his own wood-working business on the side. Aubrey spends much of his free time honing his guitar skills and writing and learning new solos.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
Man, there are so many people who deserve credit for where we are now and how we got here…

God – The talents and opportunities He has given us to pursue our dreams are indescribable.

Our strong group of family and friends have supported us, our music, and our songs from the very beginning (they know who they are). We couldn’t do any of this without them.

Diana Thomas – Our childhood piano teacher.

Toni Stanley – Our childhood guitar teacher and who is credited with coming up with the name “2Digh4”.

Ruth McCoy – Our high school chorus teacher and a HUGE inspiration for us wanting to pursue a career in music.
