OCTOBER TOUR

“A timeless sound…” —NPR “All Things Considered”

USA Today is premiering the video for “Rainy Day Woman,” from Kat Edmonson’s upcoming album The Big Picture (due out September 30 viaSony Music Masterworks). Of the video, Edmonson says that she sought to reference, “‘60s-era suspense films.” She declares, “We all had a ball indulging in the notion of ‘Rainy Day Woman’ as the theme to an imaginary movie.” USA Today says the albums “tunes are inspired by the lush orchestral works we often hear in those hyper-stylized ‘60s classics.”

The Big Picture is Edmonson’s label debut and was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Mitchell Froom (Paul McCartney) in his Los Angeles studio. She recently confirmed October tour dates in support of her new music with a new date added at North Oak Cliff Music Festival in Dallas. A full tour will follow in early 2015, please see dates below.

This album follows her 2012 release, Way Down Low, which The New York Times hailed as “fresh as a spring bouquet” and The Boston Globe called “one of the greatest vocal albums I’ve ever heard.” The record debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart and was featured on several major year-end “Best of 2012” lists includingDownbeat Magazine, WNYC Soundcheck’s “Best Live Performances” and Daytrotter’s “Best Sessions of 2012.” Edmonson performed on Austin City Limits, made her Prairie Home Companion debut, and was featured on NPR an impressive five times that same year. The songstress also found herself touring with several well-established acts such as Chris Isaak, Gary Clark Jr. and Michael Kiwanuka.

Texas native Edmonson grew up in Houston and sang in the local club scene in Austin for several years before self-releasing Take To The Sky in 2009. A musical kinship developed from performing with fellow Texan Lyle Lovett led to a high-profile duet of the Christmas classic “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” which the pair performed together on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
