Kat Edmonson makes warm, hand-holding love songs that hearken back to smoky 1940s lounges or swinging 1960s girl groups, with simple lyrics and arrangements that keep her message accessible and sweet.

Read after the jump for an interview with Austin native Edmonson on music, writing, champagne, and birth doulas (!!).
