Kevin O'Donnell

Kevin O’Donnell was born on Mother’s Day, 1955, in Bayonne, NJ. His family moved to Mundelein, IL in 1959. His formative years were comprised of a staunch Catholic education, a deep-seated interest in his heritage, an addiction to music, and a passion for history – each left an indelible impression. Historical themes, conversational storytelling, and strong visual images are his hallmark - skills he learned from his Irish immigrant father which he has since parlayed into careers as musician, actor, singer-songwriter, columnist, and now, author. Never wandering far from his mid-west sensibilities, O’Donnell currently makes his home in Arlington Heights, IL.
