Kitty Mortland

It's the oldest story in the world. Girl meets guitar. Girl falls in love with guitar and starts writing songs. Girl finds band mates and makes brilliant music. Band mates figure it's time to move on and move on to other brilliant projects. Girl still plays guitar.
Kitty's music has an authenticity to it that has been thrilling audiences in Chicago at venues like the Elbo Room, the Note, Betty's Blue Star Lounge, and the Underground Lounge. You're guaranteed a good night when she takes the stage. Keep your eyes out for upcoming shows!
And/or how about this blurb from The Daily Limerick?:
"TODAY'S EDITION: Kitty Mortland
Not only does Kitty Mortland rock (with a full-on band), have something to say and bear pulchritude (her site describes her sound, much better than I can, as early Liz Phair-ish and/or Janis Joplin-esque, although I'll also throw out that I heard near-Floydian melodies with a special knack for capturing sadness). But she likes me. Or at least indulges me. Someone, in fact, told me that she's not into men, you know, which may or may not be true, but. Oh, well.
Anyway, although I've been emceeing shows around town for a few years now (live and for cable-access TV) and I'm even noticed on the streets at times, I rarely get kudos from bands. But Kitty, at one point during such a show, said, "Thanks Sloop, for whatever it is you do. But you do it sooo well!"--then went into a tune called, "Do It Again."
(Sigh.)

Technically, the song is called Raspberry Kisses, but who's counting?
Side note: When she's not making music, Kitty is also an accomplished actor/dancer/writer/director/theatrical type person. Check out the films in her top friends for more info!
