“Hearing Edmonson makes it virtually impossible to do anything but stop and listen.” – NPR “Hypnotic elegance and a voice beyond her years.” – The Philadelphia Inquirer Kat Edmonson is an award-winning songwriter and singer “with an equal foothold in jazz, cabaret and vintage cosmopolitanism pop” according to the NYT– and she’ll be with us at Cape Cinema on April 24 for a Payomet Road Show. Kat is an award-winning songwriter and singer whose unusually charming and seamless blend of old and new has garnered attention on Austin City Limits, Tiny Desk Concerts, A Prairie Home Companion, and The Late Show with David Letterman. Raised on the music and film of the early-to-mid-twentieth century, Kat is a rare artist who embodies the spirit of the past while remaining resolutely au courant. She performs original songs and familair classics in her live show, interweaving humorous anecdotes, philosophical musings, and her love of film with disarming candor and vulnerability. Her longtime band members’ keen and sensitive accompaniment allows Kat to freely veer off-script as she’s often inclined to do. She has been featured on Austin City Limits, Tiny Desk Concerts, A Prairie Home Companion, and The Tonight Show.
