translation 996.tra.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
Bridget Brigitte (McDonald) is an award-winning songwriter, singer, and writer who runs Bionic Sisters Productions. With a symphony-composer-grandmother and a radio-technology-pioneer-grandfather, she was destined for music. Also, with a world-renowned-author/educator mother and attorney father, it’s no surprise that Bridget received a BA from UC Berkeley (Chinese History & Comp Lit. English/French/German) and MA (French) and Ph.D. (Comparative Humanities) from Johns Hopkins. She has written 2 novels, a translation (Stanford), and has poems in journals across the country. She taught at the University of OrlĂ©ans, France, and returned to California with her husband Jean-Pierre, a graphic designer and manager with a degree in gourmet cooking. Proud parents of adopted animals including tortoises, turtles, fish, cats, and a dog, they live in a drug and alcohol-free home. After wrestling with health issues in 2000, Bridget brought out her CD Where Birds Meet in the Rain (recorded by engineers for Jewel and Blink 182), since played on radio stations worldwide. After performing in France, Ireland, Canada, and on television many times, she witnessed her Bridget Brigitte Special air on TV. She has featured more than 150 performers in her signature shows at Humphrey’s, with line-ups always including an even mix of women and men. Bills she has played on have included Lucinda Williams, Jonatha Brooke, and Harriet Schock (“That Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady”). Bridget was a LA Music Awards AC Artist of the Year nominee (alongside Minnie Driver), and her 2006 10 song music video DVD has himbos replacing bimbos.
