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.
“Northern Border”, is getting airplay
around the country and it contains her 9/11 song “There Are No
Words”, which is being used in a Pentagon film about their September
11th experience. On hearing the song, Kitty and her band have
been invited to perform it at the unveiling of the Pentagon 9/11
Memorial on September 11, 2008.
She is also a member of the Southeast Michigan Songwriting Collective, The
Yellow Room Gang. You can often see her performing around the
state with her other gang members.
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.
