Concert in the Park
Warm, wonderful and totally talented – that’s the magic of singer/songwriter, Kitty Donohoe.
The award-winning musician brings her rich, musical style to the St. Johns City Park Performance Shell July 30 in the weekly Concert in the Park series. Show time is 7 p.m. at the beautiful outdoor venue; no admission charge.
Appreciative fans can expect to hear selections from Donohoe’s CDs including “Northern Border” and “This Road Tonight,” as well as her latest “The Heart of Ireland” project where songs about life and love allow her Irish and American heritage to shine through. Donohoe’s expertise on guitar, cittern, keyboard – and some unique Celtic instruments – will also delight listeners.
“Since my first album in 1987, I’ve incorporated the sounds of the traditional instruments I love into my original songs and tunes,” Donohoe says. “When I wrote my Michigan Emmy-winning song “There Are No Words” on 9/11, I immediately knew I wanted to have the haunting sound of pipes in the recording.”
Multi-instrumentalist, David Mosher, will join Donohoe on stage.
