In March 2009, her self-released debut album, Take to the Sky, reached the Top 20 on the Billboard magazine jazz chart. Way Down Low was released in 2012, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Her third album, The Big Picture, was released on September 30, 2014.
"You see a show like the one Kat Edmonson put on Tuesday night at Scullers, and you wonder what the heck people are doing at Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry concerts. Really, the world is unjust... Edmonson, a petite singer from Austin, Texas, is at once a throwback and a pioneer. Her intimate vocal style and stage presence recall the heyday of jazz
- she has the expressiveness of Billie Holiday, the elegance of Ella Fitzgerald, and the voice of Blossom Dearie. Yet she doesn't merely retread standards. Sure, she likes her Cole Porter, but she and her pianist/arranger, Kevin Lovejoy, molded and modernized chestnuts like "Just One of Those Things," "Night and Day," and "It's All Right With Me" into entirely fresh tunes with new harmonies, inventive rhythm structures, and sometimes mysterious undertones.
Edmonson has grown quite comfortable inside these songs, taking even more liberties with them than she did on her recent CD, Take to the Sky, which stands among the best records of 2009. Like Holiday, Edmonson likes to sing just behind the beat, which infuses her demure voice with drama and heartbreak.

Happy Holiday
Kat Edmonson Lyrics
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
If you're burdened down with trouble
If you're nerves are wearing thin
Pack your load down the road
And come to the Holiday Inn
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
Come to the Holiday Inn
If you can't find someone who will
Set your heart a-whirl
Take your car and motor to
The home of boy meets girl and so forth
If you're laid-up with a breakdown
Throw away your vitamins
Don't get worse, grab your nurse
And come to the Holiday Inn
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells are ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
Happy holidays
Happy holidays
May the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Yeah, yeah, yeah
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holiday to you
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
If you're burdened down with trouble
If you're nerves are wearing thin
And come to the Holiday Inn
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
Come to the Holiday Inn
If you can't find someone who will
Set your heart a-whirl
Take your car and motor to
The home of boy meets girl and so forth
If you're laid-up with a breakdown
Throw away your vitamins
Don't get worse, grab your nurse
And come to the Holiday Inn
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells are ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
Happy holidays
Happy holidays
May the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Yeah, yeah, yeah
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holiday to you
