A celebrated figure in Michigan’s folk scene and beyond, Kitty Donohoe has built a remarkable career performing at clubs and festivals across the U.S. and Canada. She has opened for folk legends such as Steve Goodman, Tom Paxton, Doc Watson, and Bruce Cockburn, and even took the stage at a 2008 Obama rally just before Bruce Springsteen.

With a style that blends Americana, Celtic, and roots influences, Kitty’s songs explore everything from personal reflection to political landscapes—always with emotional depth and lyrical grace. The Lansing State Journal says she “can set an audience on fire,” and her fans know her for being both deeply talented and genuinely relatable.

Although once a shy performer, Kitty credits her growth to “getting out there and doing it”—a journey that’s brought her to major stages and intimate venues alike, earning her a loyal following and critical acclaim.
