Kate has co-produced and will host a night of music by regional performers who are dedicated to stopping the culture of gun violence. If you're sick and tired of mass shootings and the glorification of guns in this country, you can do your part by enjoying a night of music while also donating to the vibrant organization March for Our Lives. Appearing: Canella, Jimi W., Doc Horton, and Iveilah, and Kate might do a song written especially for the event. Stay tuned. This show will also be livestreamed through Caffe Lena's very own channel https://caffelena.tv/
Kate is joined by Sam Zucchini (drums) and James Gascoyne (bass) in her new configuration. She still performs solo, as well.

Kate McDonnell, singer-songwriter, plays her guitar upside down and backward and sings with her whole being. She has performed solo at the Newport Folk Festival, on the Mountain Stage radio show, on WXPN’s World Café, and at the Kennedy Center. Her award-winning songwriting has been singled out for praise by the Village Voice, Sing Out!, the Boston Globe and Dirty Linen. Kate has two CDs on Waterbug Records, and one each on Appleseed Recordings and Brambus Records. Kate took a break in 2006 to earn her master’s degree at Smith College in child therapy and worked as a school therapist for children in special education programs. But since the muse never stops haunting the artist, Kate decided to go back into the studio to record her fifth CD, Ballad of a Bad Girl which was released in early 2021. Kate teams up again with her songwriting partner Anne Lindley to present a fresh batch of soulful, fierce, and engaging new songs.
