Kate Edmonson Presents "A Holiday A Swingin'!" In Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — Award-winning jazz vocalist and songwriter Kate Edmonson will be bringing a unique, one night-only live holiday concert to the Zlock Performing Arts Center at the Bucks County Community College in Newtown on Saturday, Dec. 17.

“A Holiday Swingin’! A Kat Edmonson Christmas” will feature music from Edmonson’s Holiday Swingin'! album including such Yule-tide favorites as “Jingle Bell Rock”, “O Christmas Tree”, and

“Let It Snow”.

“I was inspired to record music that harkened back to my favorite '50s and '60s holiday tunes. The band and I had a ball swingin’ on all these classic songs!” says Kat.

Raised on the music and film of the early-to-mid-20th century, Edmonson is a rare artist who embodies the spirit of the past while remaining resolutely au courant. She performs original songs and familiar classics in her live show, interweaving humorous anecdotes, philosophical musings, and her love of film with disarming candor and vulnerability.

“Having Kat and her longtime jazz band here to welcome in the holidays is absolutely exciting and such a wondrous treat for our community and theater," said Zlock PAC’s Director of Community
Programming & College Events Peter Chiovarou.

Also, new to Zlock, the theater now offers beer, wine, hard seltzers and nonalcoholic drinks within the lobby bar area with lounge seating and cocktail tables. The bar offerings start 90-minutes prior to each performance and through intermission. VIP ticket holders are provided two complimentary beverages of their choice from the new beverage menu.
