There’s a Falling Snow,” feel instantly at home among the standards, with the timelessness of future holiday classics. Bringing this cinematic Christmas world to the stage, Kat Edmonson’s 2026 Have Your Merry Christmas With Me Holiday Tour features selections from the new album alongside beloved songs from her acclaimed catalog. With romance, humor, swing, and moments of quiet intimacy, Edmonson and her band create an evening steeped in the warmth and magic of the season.

Kat is a Songwriters Hall of Fame award-winning composer whom The New York Times has described as having “an equal foothold in jazz, cabaret and vintage cosmopolitanism pop.” She has appeared on Austin City Limits, NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, A Prairie Home Companion, and The Tonight Show, and has performed at venues and festivals including Carnegie Hall, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and the Blue Note in Japan. Her original songs have appeared in film, television, and advertising.

Edmonson also appeared as a 1930s jazz singer in Woody Allen’s Café Society and made her theatrical debut in the Drama Desk Award-nominated off-Broadway production The Hang by Taylor Mac and Matt Ray. As NPR observed, “Hearing Edmonson makes it virtually impossible to do anything but stop and listen.” Blending nostalgia, celebration, and holiday spirit, this concert feels both classic and new, with all the makings of a cherished seasonal tradition.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Kat Edmonson’s work spans jazz, pop, folk, and the traditions of the Great American Songbook. A Songwriters Hall of Fame award-winning composer "with an equal foothold in jazz, cabaret and vintage cosmopolitanism pop" (The New York Times), Kat has earned numerous number one albums on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, has appeared on Austin City Limits, Tiny Desk Concerts, A Prairie Home Companion, The Tonight Show and The Late Show, has performed at venues and festivals around the world including Carnegie Hall, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and the Blue Note in Japan, and has toured alongside Lyle Lovett, Michael Kiwanuka, Chris Isaak, Shawn Colvin, and Gary Clark Jr. Kat Edmonson’s latest album, Have Your Merry Christmas With Me (out November 6, 2026 ), plays like the soundtrack to a classic romantic comedy—lush, witty, soulful, and filled with longing, sensuality, and holiday warmth.

Sensual bossa novas mingle with a tropical, 1960s-cocktail-party take on “Jingle Bells,” the swinging jazz-gospel exuberance of “Hark! The Herald Angels Swing,” and an achingly soulful transformation of Allen Toussaint’s “It’s Raining” into “It’s Snowing.” Two originals, “Have Your Merry Christmas With Me” and “Hush!

There’s a Falling Snow,” feel instantly at home among the standards, with the timelessness of future holiday classics. Kat’s nationwide tour begins Thanksgiving and continues through the end of December 2026.
