Kat Edmonson

Kat Edmonson is an award-winning jazz singer-songwriter and arranger whose music blends the traditions of the Great American Songbook with sophisticated pop. Raised on the music and films of the early-to-mid-twentieth century, she brings those influences into her original songs and interpretations of classic material. Her seventh studio album, Have Your Merry Christmas With Me, is a jazz-rooted holiday record conceived and arranged by Edmonson, combining original compositions with reimagined standards spanning bossa nova, gospel, blues, and traditional pop. The album includes two Edmonson originals, “Have Your Merry Christmas With Me” and “Hush! There’s a Falling Snow.” A recipient of a Songwriters Hall of Fame award, Edmonson has earned multiple No. 1 albums on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. The New York Times describes her as having “an equal foothold in jazz, cabaret and vintage cosmopolitanism pop.” She has appeared on Austin City Limits, NPR’s Tiny Desk, A Prairie Home Companion, and The Late Show, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and Blue Note Japan.
