SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House Presents Kitty Donohoe
DESCRIPTION:Two Way Street Coffee House is Chicagoland’s most beloved folk and acoustic music venue\, presenting weekly concerts and community events for over 55 years!  The show starts at 8pm (CT) and the doors open at 7:30pm. (Suggested donation $10\, cash or Paypal).  We will also host this concert virtually.  You may access the livestream on www.twowaystreet.org\, on our Facebook page\, or on our YouTube channel. \nOn Friday\, March 20\, 2026 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Kitty Donohoe. \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 singersongwriters.” 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. Sing Out!\, one of the oldest and most respected folk music magazines in the industry\, says that Kitty is “ one of the rare singer-songwriters to sensuously weave words and melody into a strong and mezmerizing fabric.” \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.” \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. When she became involved in Irish music Kitty bought a cittern (a large mandolin)\, and she still primarily plays guitar\, cittern and piano. Kitty is a solid solo performer\, and also often brings multi-instrumentalist David Mosher to her concerts\, where he backs her up with guitar\, fiddle\, mandolin\, and vocals. And although some of her originals may sound like they were written 100 years ago and others are clearly contemporary\, one thing is certain: with or without a band behind her\, Kitty’s striking voice carries it all\, delivering each song with power and emotion. \nIf you can’t join us in person\, you can still tune in virtually to catch the show!  Make your donation HERE to Kitty.  Visit www.twowaystreet.org for more information.

The world is drowning. Survival is everything. When the Rain Came is the first YA book in an all-new\, action-packed dystopian adventure series by New York Times bestselling author Matt Eicheldinger. \n“If we stay here\, if we keep wandering without a real plan\, we won’t last. Maybe The Hill is dangerous. But maybe it’s not. It’s the only plan we have.” \nSeventeen-year-old Aurora knows how to survive. Life in the foster system has taught her how to stay quiet\, stay smart\, and stay ready. But nothing could prepare her for this: a never-ending storm that swallows cities\, drowns forests\, and turns the world into a flooded wasteland. \nTrapped in a collapsing house with her strict prepper foster parents\, Aurora is forced to live by their rules just to stay alive. Until the day they disappear without a trace. \nAlone. Abandoned. And running out of time. \nAll Aurora has is a waterlogged scrap of paper and a name: “The Hill.” \nWith looters closing in and the floodwaters rising higher each day\, she’s left with one impossible choice—stay and wait for the storm to take her\, or risk everything on a journey through the drowned remains of the world\, to a find a place that may or not exist. \nIt’s forward or nothing. \nWith echoes of Life As We Knew It\, The Last of Us\, and Hatchet\, Aurora’s story is a gripping\, emotionally resonant survival story about resilience\, found family\, and one girl’s fight to reclaim her future in a drowning world. \nAbout the Author:  \nNew York Times and USA Today bestselling author Matt Eicheldinger wasn’t always a writer. He spent most of his childhood playing soccer\, reading comics\, and trying his best to stay out of trouble. Matt lives in Bloomington\, Minnesota with his wife and two children\, and tries to create new adventures with them whenever possible. When he’s not writing\, you can find him telling students stories in the classroom or trail running along the Minnesota River Bottoms.
