SUMMARY:Performance:Kitty Donohoe
DESCRIPTION:“one of the rare singer-songwriters to sensuously weave words and melody into a strong and mesmerizing fabric.” –Sing Out!\n\nAnn Arbor based songwriter and Michigan Emmy recipient Kitty Donohoe is not an Irish or Celtic singer\, but she clearly draws from that part of her heritage as well as her American roots as an artist. Iconic WFMT-Chicago folk dj Rich Warren calls Kitty “far above and beyond most singer-songwriters.” She writes music that has been called “earthy\, luminous and compelling” (The Weekender) and she’s been praised in the press equally for her voice\, her musicality\, and her songwriting.\nOver the years Kitty has opened for a variety of artists\, from Doc Watson to David Bromberg\, from Bruce Cockburn to Cheryl Wheeler – and in 2008 she and sideman David Mosher took the stage at an Obama rally just before Bruce Springsteen. Already known for years for her songwriting\, Kitty’s visibility escalated to a much bigger world when she wrote a song called ‘There Are No Words’ on September 11\, 2001. In addition to the Emmy Kitty received for the song\, it’s been featured in a documentary\, which led to her singing it live at the Dedication of the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial in 2008 – an experience that she calls “profound.”\n\nGrowing up in a large\, creative family outside of Detroit\, Kitty started ‘making up songs’ and playing the piano at a young age\, then graduated to the guitar in high school\, when she began going to coffeehouses and open mic nights\, bringing the guitar and her own songs. Although some of her originals may sound like they were written 100 years ago and others are clearly contemporary\, one thing is certain: Kitty’s striking voice carries it all\, delivering each song with power and emotion.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4728/4729 for more detail.
