Kat Edmonson at Ridgefield Playhouse

About

Billie Holiday comparisons are coming thick and fast for retro-soul chanteuse Kat Edmonson. The Boston Globe called her 2012 album, Way Down Low, “one of the greatest vocal albums I’ve ever heard.” Her 2014 follow-up, The Big Picture, confirms it was no fluke: she is one of today’s most exciting and original singers, a throwback who is completely of the moment, a dazzling talent with a voice that’s impossible to forget.
