The Easthampton musician's new songs are emotive, yet unsentimental. Kind of like Diggs herself.
Kimaya Diggs tunes her guitar before going on stage at a Sofar Sounds night at Sam Adams Brewery in Jamaica Plain. took the stage for a short solo set. She wore a hot pink dress paired with high-top Converse sneakers, and picked out a dreamy motif on her electric guitar as she introduced her song “Letting Go.”“My mom and I … went to the Cape every summer, and every summer we had our big fight of the year,” Diggs began.
“I am not, and my mom wasn't either … somebody that's like, 'Live every day as if it's your last,'” Diggs said. “I just want to live every day in a way that is fine. You know what I mean? So, sometimes I'm not doing my best living. Sometimes I'm just getting through a day. And even after I wrote the song ‘Letting Go,’ I would still have fights with my mom.”Diggs recorded"Letting Go" for her latest album, “Quincy,” which came out in March.
“I definitely was the person that was kind of called upon to represent all brown people in the world in some spaces,” Diggs said. “Being called upon to be the spokesperson … was definitely very disorienting and confusing and frustrating and dehumanizing, in a lot of ways.” Maloney recalled what it was like to sing with Diggs onstage for the first time. “It was like immediately singing with someone that I'd rehearsed with. She was blending and kind of picking up on the little things that I do and doing them in the harmony. I was just wowed.”
That changed when she was in college and picked up the guitar with the encouragement of her now-husband, Jacob Rosazza.
