Dizgo is an American jam band from Bloomington, Indiana, playing psychedelic rock, funk and electronic dance grooves. The band is known for the albums Choose Your Own Adventure and Melt, which pair composed songs with extended, groove-led improvisation. Dizgo has performed at Summer Camp Music Festival and Resonance Music & Arts Festival during its touring on the U.S. jam-band circuit. The four-piece plays full-band sets that allow songs to open into longer instrumental passages. The band brought that format to Domefest.
