Hill, Capps, Donohoe: Trio of terrific female singer/songwriters share Crazy Wisdom's stage Friday

By Roger LeLievre

Annie Capps, Whit Hill and Kitty Donohoe, an impressively talented trio of individual female singer/songwriters, team up for “Songwriters In the Round” on Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tea Room’s intimate stage Friday night.

All three are familiar to Ann Arbor music aficionados thanks to several years’ worth of local shows at various venues. Two of them—Capps and Donohoe—are also members of the local songwriting collective Yellow Room Gang.”

Kitty Donohoe

Based in Ann Arbor, Emmy recipient Donohoe’s music draws from her Irish heritage as well as her American roots. Already known for years for her songwriting, her visibility escalated when she wrote the haunting “There Are No Words” to honor those lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Besides her many Ark performances in the past, music fans may also know Capps from the “My Folky Valentine” shows she has organized at The Ark in recent years.

Hill, a former Ann Arborite now pursuing her musical career in Nashville, has several CDs with her band, The Postcards, to her credit. She often performs at the Summer Festival’s Top of the Park and also organizes, and performs in, the annual Nash Bash event in the Kerrytown area.

With talent like this, you know this is going to be a good show, and it’s a great opportunity to catch three amazing acts all on the same bill, for free.

(A last-minute addition to the bill was announced after this story was first published. Michigan singer-songwriter Jennifer Smith will also perform.)

“Songwriters in the Round” is Friday, Aug. 16 at 8:30 p.m. at Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tearoom, 114 S. Main St. Admission is free. Details at www.crazywisdom.net or 734-665-2757.
