Matt Keller is a young songwriter out of Keene. You may have seen him before as the drummer in Kendall Row, another local band that has played gigs around the area. After 2 albums and currently working on his 3rd, Matt’s music fuses Jam Band style with folk, groove and more. Accompanying Matt will be Alex Royce on piano, Quinn Wilson on the drums, and Kieran Barnard on bass.
Kimaya Diggs is a musician and writer, born and based in the rolling hills of Western Massachusetts. The sounds of her childhood included Emily Dickinson, Ella Fitzgerald, Whitney Houston, and 70’s soul. A fourth-generation artist, Kimaya grew up singing with her sisters, and found her voice across the facets of neo-soul, jazz, and R&B. She’s crafted a genre-defying style that celebrates the power and dexterity of her voice. Slippery and acrobatic at times, earthy and urgency-filled at others, her voice has been called “smoothly captivating” by the Daily Hampshire Gazette. Her songwriting beautifully captures the spectrum of her vocal range, and the singular control she has over her instrument.
This show will be kicking off after Jamfest (which is at Robin Hood Park in Keene, starting at 11am on this very day!!), and will cap off an amazing day of music. The show is all ages, and any seating is first come first served; dancing is highly encouraged!
