About the Artist Pat Donohue has earned national acclaim for his mastery of acoustic fingerstyle guitar, which he exhibits weekly as the guitarist for the house band on Garrison Keillor’s radio program “A Prairie Home Companion.” Pat’s musical tastes are eclectic.

Chet Atkins called Donohue one of the greatest finger pickers in the world today; Leo Kottke calls his playing “haunting.” Honors include a Grammy in 2005 for his participation in Best Pop Instrumental Album of the Year, “Pink Guitar,” several Minnesota Music Awards and the prestigious title of 1983 National Finger Picking Guitar Champion. His original tunes have been recorded by Chet Atkins, Suzy Bogguss and Kenny Rogers.
