Kat Edmonson

From the venue:

In many ways, Houston-born Kat Edmonson seems as if she’s been transported from another era. Though her original lyrics have a definite modern-day sensibility, the singer’s musical values are firmly rooted in the past. A dedicated aficionado of the Great American Songbook, Edmonson makes timeless music for grown-ups, a style she calls “vintage pop.” After woodshedding for years in clubs, Edmonson recorded 2009’s Take to the Sky. Since then, she has honed her skills as a songwriter and producer; she already had the singing part nailed. Her most recent release, the aptly titled Old Fashioned Gal, is another deft balance of classic and current. — Bill Kopp
