We all have a favorite female playlist that suits our ever-swinging moods. Bitter worked well with Fiona Apple. Dramatic and Tori Amos go hand-in-hand.

Who can we call on for a little soul soothing? Rely on local songstress Kat Edmonson, whose sultry voice will conjure up visions of cocktail lounges and long goodnight kisses. She’ll put a new twist on an old classic, or take a new hit and lay down a jazzy undertone. Check out this crooner weekly at Austin staples like The Elephant Room, Eddie V’s Edgewater Grill and Lamberts Downtown Barbecue.

This cool Kat is sure to be your new mood muse.
