The emerging solo output of C. Field (of the new Western Mass. folk trio Ona Canoa), Wallace Field’s “quarter-life-crisis folk” is deeply personal and yet easily relatable with its emotional vulnerability and heartbreaking honesty. After years of singing and writing songs in secret on her 1940s baritone ukulele, Wallace Field marks a new and exciting chapter of possibilities for a bold voice finally out of the shadows of fear. Wallace Field is currently working on her debut full-length album.
THE BULL AND ARROW - We are an artistic creative collaborative duo that experiments and explores all aspects of the "languages" we speak. Movement and Sound are the first languages we have started to explore. We are always on the move and looking for new collaborators who may speak their own unique languages or who could add to the languages we already explore.

Kimaya Diggs has mastered a genre-defying style. Inspired by the acrobatic folk renderings of Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald’s jazz stylings, and Lianna LaHavas’ soulful charisma, she draws skillfully from her lineage of musical pioneers, creating a musical lane all her own, backed by multi-instrumentalist Jacob Rosazza. With a playful presence and frank, transporting storytelling, Diggs’ mastery of her voice is the focal point of each performance, and a transfixing experience. Kimaya’s debut album, “Breastfed” (2018), is a bittersweet chronicle of growth toward the light. Recklessly urgent, irreverent and defiant in the face of the past, “Breastfed” boldly wrangles the pain and glory of a growing-up narrative, claiming its narrative with spirit and dark humor. The single “How Am I Sposta Know” made the top 10 in tastemaker radio station 93.9 The River’s Best New Songs of 2018. As a teaching artist and collaborator, Kimaya has captivated audiences around the world with her sister trio, the Diggs Sisters, and Northern Harmony, performing 21 international folk styles in 27 different languages. Kimaya has written soundtracks, libretti, and themes for several plays, operas, and podcasts.
