His mellow R&B-influenced grooves are sure to keep you swaying all night.

Texas-born singer-songwriter Kat Edmonson graces audiences at Blue Note this Friday. Dubbed "vintage pop" by the vocalist herself, her music is all about contemporary jazz melodies decorated with airy honeyed vocals, hinting notes of Ella Fitzgerald. She's actually reimagined the legendary jazz queen's version of 'Summertime,' as well as 'Just Like Heaven' by The Cure.

Fri Jun 1, 7.30pm; RMB400; Blue Note, see event listing. Buy tickets here.

Jun 3: The Devils & Libido
