KITTY DONOHOE - 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. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Kitty creates music that is rich, luminous, earthy and compelling. Backing herself on guitar, cittern and keyboard, she uses her 3-octave voice to sing her songs. Written with a love of language and an unerring sense of melody, with one foot firmly planted in her Northern roots (Michigan) and the other tapping into her Irish heritage, her music resonates long after her performances are done.
"far above and beyond most singer-songwriters." - Rich Warren, of WFMT, Chicago
JAN KRIST - Detroit born Jan Krist is a well established veteran of the acoustic music scene. Jan's musical gifts have been recognized by Billboard Magazine, Entertainment Weekly Magazine, Dirty Linen, Image Journal, and others. With 13 nominations and 4 Detroit Metro Music Awards under her belt, she can also claim the honor of being a finalist at the Kerrville song writing competition, in Kerrville TX, an annual event which helped to launch the careers of Lyle Lovett and Nancy Griffith. Krist takes her ordinary, plain Jane demeanor and all the elements we've learned to take for granted (6 strings and common time) and lets us know, this is not your ordinary woman with a guitar, even if it is.
