As a part of our ongoing CT River & Roots Series, Windsor Art Center welcomes back R&B / soul musician Kimaya Diggs to debut her new album, Green. As an added bonus, local singer/songwriter Zak Trojano will open the show.
TICKETS: $12 / $10 for WAC Members
Tickets can be purchased ahead of time here, or at the door. Doors open at 6:00pm.
ABOUT THE SHOW
"Green" is Kimaya’s third studio album, a love note to the New England landscape showcases twelve tracks of glittering, genre-bending indie pop, carried by Diggs’ powerful, honeyed vocals, and honest, attentive lyricism. Backed by a band of longtime Western Mass artists who are fresh off tour dates with Trombone Shorty, Emily King, and Mavis Staples, Kimaya’s band gifts audiences with a connected, intentional experience that’s just as likely to make you dance as it is to make you cry.
Opener Zak Trojano is multi-instrumentalist–a finger-style guitar player, a fly-fisherman, and a beer drinker. In recent years, Trojano’s solo work has found the spotlight with discerning listeners everywhere. Stage by stage, in clubs, music halls, bars, and coffee houses across the country, he has honed a live show that keeps audiences glued to the stage, like a rare conversation with an old friend who doesn’t usually say much, but plays a mean guitar.

Traditional Celtic and Quebecois music that causes a wonderful stir and fills to overflowing at every venue – that is Cécilia! Widely recognized as three of Canada’s finest musicians, it is a pleasure to see how much enjoyment Timi Turmel, Erin Leahy, and Louis Schryer find in playing together. While honouring their heritage as Cécilia, their music making has an undeniably fresh and high-spirited sound that sets them apart.
They bring the best of many musical worlds together in their explorations of traditional music. Every one of their pieces is skillfully arranged and highlighted with influences from contemporary, classical, jazz and swing styles. Cécilia’s recent debut album Accent is an impressive offering full of vibrant rhythms and melodies, all resonating with a unique warmth and richness of expression.
Each performance by Cécilia is a call to come out and share – not only in the joy of three dedicated musicians making music together, but also in creating with Timi, Erin, and Louis an infectiously energetic and memorable musical experience. You’ll find yourself with a smile that lasts long after the final notes of Cécilia’s accordion, piano, and violin have melted away.

We gather once more at Drawing Board Brewing (36 Main St, Florence, MA) for a Song Share Session—a space where nonbinary, trans, and women singer-songwriters create, explore, and connect hosted by Jess Martin.
We begin at 7 PM with a community check-in, sharing our creative goals for the evening. Each participant will have 10 minutes to explore their work—whether that means playing a new song, refining lyrics, or seeking feedback. This is a space for generating and creating, nurturing and supporting—a moment to hold space for each other’s artistry and let our songs take flight.
Come as you are—whether to share, to listen, or to simply be in a room where music and community thrive. In a time when the world feels heavy, we carve out a space to lift each other up. Let’s sing in the spring together.
Join us for a supportive, queer-affirming monthly Song Share session dedicated to nonbinary, trans, and women singer-songwriters and creatives. This is a low-pressure, generative community space designed to share works-in-progress, lyrics, poetry, or any creative musings that are currently inspiring you.
Whether you want to test out a brand-new idea or just listen and connect, the floor is yours. No finished product required! Shop guitars are available on-site if you want to travel light.
Voluntary donations ($1-$5) are appreciated to support the shop staff member staying late, but are not required for entry.
