Hearing Edmonson makes it virtually impossible to do anything but stop and listen. (NPR) Intuitive about melody and handy with a turn of phrase (The New York Times), the songsmith has been writing ever since she was a little girl. JAZZIZ magazine says, her lasting contribution might very well be her songs. NPR says, shes a savvy student of 60s film soundtracks, jazz pop stylists and Brill Building songcraft, nodding to her influences at every turn. But her take on those stylized musical languages is so fresh and fluent that the referencing never feels cumbersome. Her original songs have been featured in major motion pictures, television shows and commercials including her song Lucky which was featured in the Coca-Cola Footprints ad from the Winter Olympics. From Carnegie Hall to the Montreux Jazz Festival to the Blue Note in Japan, Kat has played major stages across the United States, Europe, and Asia. In addition to her own headline tours, she has performed in support of Lyle Lovett, Gary Clark, Jr., Smokey Robinson, and Willie Nelson to name a few. Kat appeared in Woody Allens Cafe Society as a 1930s jazz singer and was highlighted on the official soundtrack performing her version of Mountain Greenery. In the winter of 2022, the singer made her theatrical debut in the four-time, Drama-Desk-Award nominated off-Broadway show, The Hang by Taylor Mac and Matt Ray. Get Your Tickets!
