Marilyn Rea Beyer of The Midnight Special and Folkstage, WFMT in Chicago, states that the award-winning title cut TRAPEZE is "just so GOOD and so REAL and so NOW! The melody just sticks right between my ribs and my heart." and "Kate McDonnell wallops you with a vivid image that puts an essential life lesson on the Jumbotron." That song earned Kate a NERFA songwriting award before the album's release. And Americana Highways featured Kate in a premier of the powerful and urgent song Step Right Up.

TRAPEZE is rooted in contemporary American life, with topics ranging from hope and life’s purpose surrendering to love and desire in crazy times to condemning gun violence. On the heels of her successful album Ballad of a Bad Girl (2021), TRAPEZE comprises 14 original songs written over a prolific three years. Her new songs will hit your gut with truth, intelligence, and humor.

Kate will be joined by Sam Zucchini (drums), Jimi Woodul (guitars and ear candy) and Matt Griffon (bass) for this evening's show. If you can't attend in person, stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Enjoy one week of access with your live stream ticket.
