Kat Edmonson - Only the Bare Essentials
In her most powerful presentation to date and with minimal accompaniment, Kat Edmonson will interweave humorous stories about herself and her music with disarming candor and vulnerability. Subtlety and nuance will be served up as main courses for this show and the music, so delicately played, will leave you feeling entirely full.
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Kat is a Songwriters Hall of Fame award-winning songwriter and singer. She has been featured on Austin City Limits, Tiny Desk Concerts, CBS Saturday Morning and has released six studio albums to date. Her original songs have been featured in major motion pictures, television shows and commercials including her song “Lucky” 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 headlined tours across the United States, Europe, and Asia. She has performed in support of Lyle Lovett, Shawn Colvin, Gary Clark, Jr., and Willie Nelson to name a few. Kat appeared in Woody Allen’s 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.

"Her music is like fairy dust. It has this magical... timeless quality to it that it just instantly makes you feel good and settled and childlike, but the good part, where your imagination is still pure. -NPR, Song Confessional
