**FREE ENTRY** Kat Edwards

Emerging as a formidable singer/songwriter, to solidifying her ethereal indie-pop sound, Kat Edwards continues to rise.
In 2017, she emerged as an exciting new force with debut EP Sunk, a collection of seven songs that together, pushed the Hobart-raised musician forward, eventually signing with BMG Australia.

But it was 2021 that shaped her trajectory, with her single ‘Safety’ receiving full rotation at triple j, Feature Artist of the Week, landing at #12 most played and listed as ‘Ones to Watch in 2022’ at triple j Unearthed, as well as being listed as Ticketmaster AU’s Top 10 Breakthrough Artists of 2022. 

Drawing influences from the likes of Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers and Julia Jacklin Kat proved her songwriting talent in August 2022 with the release of EP Best Bad News - a magical seven track release full of cathartic, emotional and haunting stories from the young artist. 

Her emotional lyricism is a sentiment shared by names including Dodie, Clinton Kane, Stella Donnelly, Paul Kelly and Boy and Bear to name a few,  who each enlisted Kat to open for their respective shows, while she's also performed at festivals including Falls and Party In The Paddock; her live performances blossoming with the lessons she's learnt over her years as a young adult finding her way in the world, captivating audiences with every word.

Kat’s music has elevated further than just her and her guitar, ranging from quiet introspective moments to dark, ethereal exploration, to the occasional up-beat indie pop track.
