Kitty
Donohoe w/ David Mosher
If
hearing the name Kitty Donohoe brings to mind an award-winning
songwriter with three critically acclaimed albums to her credit, who
successfully merges her Irish and American roots in her music, you'd
be right.
In
the 70’s Kitty moved
to the town of Lansing, in the middle of Michigan, where she began
working as a full-time musician.
At a Folk Alliance Conference
in Cleveland in 2000, Kitty met Ann Arbor multi-instrumentalist David
Mosher. An immediate friendship between them became a musical one as
well, with Mosher co-producing Kitty’s next CD with her.
Her song about September 11, “There Are No Words,” received
a Michigan EMMY and has been performed by Paul Stookey, of Peter, Paul
and Mary fame. She
re-recorded the song with an updated version in 2006.
Kitty is working on a new CD called Northern Border. It should
be finished very soon. She has also been performing with her
musical friend Jan Krist. Together they are
known as the Biddies. Some have called their duo "women of
an uncertain age," or "girls gone wide."
Multi-Instrumentalist David Mosher will join Kitty for this special
concert. David performs with many of the area's best
songwriters, and is also a gifted singer-songwriter.
