Kate McDonnell
Kate McDonnell is a singer-songwriter and an upside-down and backwards guitarist. Fearless and funny on stage, she's been wowing audiences all her life with her heart-stopping voice and jaw-dropping guitar work. And her songwriting, as well as her recent co-writing with Anne Lindley, has won her a few significant awards.

Recent highlights of her career include:

2004: First-place win at the Susquehana Songwriting Contest with "Mercy" and "Softhearted Girl," both co-written with Anne Lindley
2004: First-place win at Plowshares Songwriting Competition with "Mercy" and "Softhearted Girl"
2003: Finalist, Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, with "Lemon Marmalade," co-written with Anne Lindley
2002: First-place win at the Mountain Stage NewSong Festival songwriting competition, and subsequent
appearance on the international radio broadcast of Mountain Stag
2001: Performance at the Newport Folk Festival
1999: Performances on WXPN's World Cafe and at the Kennedy Center

Kate tours regularly in Europe and the U.S. and gets a healthy dose of airplay on folk and Americana radio formats. Whether her theme is love, politics or dogs, her songs unravel the human heart and strip the pretenses off the world we live in.
