Kat Edmonson is an award-winning songwriter and singer "with an equal foothold in jazz, cabaret and vintage cosmopolitanism pop" (The New York Times). Raised on film music of the early-to-mid-twentieth century, she performs original songs and familiar movie classics in her live show, interweaving humorous anecdotes, philosophical musings, and her love of film with disarming candor and vulnerability.
With a sweetly mellifluous voice echoing Blossom Dearie's lighter-than-air approach as well as her gift for evocative songwriting, Edmonson is a rare artist who embodies the spirit of the past while remaining resolutely au courant. This unusually charming and seamless blend of old and new has garnered much deserved attention, with the singer performing an NPR Tiny Desk concert and appearing on Austin City Limits and A Prairie Home Companion.
The Houston-born vocalist and songwriter has been on a steady ascent since her early appearance on American Idol, becoming a major draw on the Austin scene and releasing her 2009 debut album Take to the Sky, which made the top 20 on the Billboard jazz chart. Since then, Edmonson has capitalized on the momentum, recording and touring worldwide with Lyle Lovett and releasing a series of beguiling recordings culminating in 2020's Dreamers Do, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz chart, and her 2021 Christmas album Holiday Swingin'.
