With a sweetly mellifluous soprano echoing Blossom Dearie's lighter-than-air approach as well as her gift for evocative songwriting, Kat Edmonson is a rare artist who embodies the spirit of the past while remaining resolutely au courant. Her unusually charming and seamless blend of old and new has garnered attention on NPR Tiny Desk Concerts, Austin City Limits and A Prairie Home Companion.
The vintage pop and jazz vocalist's new album Dreamers Do is out February 7, 2020 with a forty-city US tour to follow.

Dreamers Do follows the release of 2018's Old Fashioned Gal, which Billboard calls "an intimate journey from doubt to resolve and implied triumph."
