Kit Malone (she/hers) is an activist, political organizer and songwriter. Kit Malone is a performing songwriter from Indiana.
Her blend of fractured folk, country rock, primitive guitar, urbane social satire, and sad sack songs about love -- mostly in the key of G -- led the readers of NUVO Newsweekly to vote her Indy’s Best Folksinger in 2006. Her work has also been featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered. A fixture in the Midwest music scene, Kit, and her band The Arsonists were frequent openers for nationally touring a
cts such as The Avette Bros., Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band, and the Ditty Bops. In 2009, Kit announced her retirement from regular touring, but she still pops her head up occasionally to make noise in her hometown. Yolonda, Kit's final full length CD on Higher Step Records, is available on most digital music services. Yolonda is a sonic examination of death, loss, travel, and politics filtered through the lens of American cosmic music. Inspired by the death of a well-loved cat, Yolonda finds Kit experimenting with wider soundscapes, found instruments, and ambient arrangements -- all the while remaining true to her folksinger roots.
