Kat Edmonson is taking Christmas back on the road. The Songwriters Hall of Fame honoree is rolling out a new holiday project and a full-band tour under the banner Have Your Merry Christmas With Me, with December dates already posted at theaters and listening rooms. This is the follow-up chapter to 2021’s Holiday Swingin’! (A Kat Edmonson Christmas, Vol. 1), the record The New York Times put on its list of albums that revisit (and redefine) holiday classics.
These are small rooms, not arenas. Inventory is limited. If you want a table, a lower-bowl seat, or a second set, buy early.

Confirmed Have Your Merry Christmas With Me Dates
More cities typically fill in through the fall. These are the dates already circulating on venue and marketplace calendars:

Seattle’s Triple Door listing is titled Kat Edmonson – Have Your Merry Christmas With Me, with dinner seating at 6:30 p.m., show at 7:30 p.m., all ages, and a full band. Face value there is posted around $27 general / $33 premium before fees.
Cincinnati’s Caffè Vivace billed the night around music from A Kat Edmonson Christmas, Vol. 2. Treat that as the new-album hook until a full track list drops on her site.

Where to Buy Kat Edmonson Tickets
Start with the venue box office, then compare:
- Kat Edmonson official site
- Seattle: The Triple Door
- Ticketmaster — Kat Edmonson
- StubHub — Kat Edmonson tickets
- Vivid Seats — Kat Edmonson tickets
- Capital City Tickets — Kat Edmonson tickets
For rooms like The Triple Door, Dazzle, and Caffè Vivace, primary venue tickets usually beat resale. Dinner-and-show houses sell tables, not just seats — a “cheap” listing on a third-party site can be a worse table.
What This Tour Is
Edmonson’s live show sits between jazz, cabaret, and vintage pop. Holiday sets mix standards (White Christmas, The Christmas Song, Let It Snow) with her own writing and the dry stage talk that makes the rooms feel smaller than they are. She has said the band is back for these Christmas nights, which matters: Holiday Swingin’ was a band record, not a solo-piano set.
Expect the new album songs to sit next to Vol. 1 material. Do not expect a two-hour sing-along of only carols. Her holiday shows still sneak in catalog pieces and left-turn covers.
City Ticket Notes
Cincinnati — Caffè Vivace (Nov. 28)
Two sets. Intimate listening room. First set often sells to dinner regulars; second set is the value play if you only need the music.
Ann Arbor — The Ark (Nov. 29)
Folk-room sightlines, strict start time, no reserved chaos if you buy official. Parking downtown is the real cost.
Denver — Dazzle (Dec. 3)
Club sets, not a theater. Early vs. late show prices move independently. If you want the holiday-band experience without a 1,000-seat balcony, this is the date.
Livermore — Bankhead Theater (Dec. 16)
Proper assigned seating. Best “night out” date on the current West Coast list.
Portland — Alberta Rose Theatre (Dec. 29)
Holiday-week inventory gets thin after Christmas. Do not wait until you are already in town.
Seattle — The Triple Door (Dec. 30)
Dinner service + full band + New Year’s-week timing. Premium tables will go first. Confirm bag/food policy on the venue page before you assume you can walk in at 7:25.
How to Buy Without Overpaying
- Use the venue’s own ticket page first.
- If the date has two sets, the later set is often cheaper the week of the show.
- Compare all-in price, not the advertised number.
- For Triple Door and Dazzle, you are buying an experience package (time + table), not GA floor.
- Resale makes sense only after a date is truly sold out on the venue site.
Quick FAQ
Is this a new Christmas album?
Yes. The tour title is Have Your Merry Christmas With Me, and at least one presenter is already billing Vol. 2 material. Vol. 1 came out in 2021 on Spinnerette.
Is it a full band?
Seattle’s official listing says yes.
Are the shows all-ages?
The Triple Door date is listed all-ages. Other rooms set their own rules — check each venue.
Will more dates be added?
Holiday jazz tours usually add theaters through October. Follow katedmonson.com.
Where should I buy if the venue is sold out?
StubHub, Vivid Seats, or Capital City Tickets — never a screenshot from social media.
Bottom line: Kat Edmonson’s new holiday album is landing with a full-band Christmas tour in small, ticket-scarce rooms. If Seattle, Portland, Denver, or Livermore is your night, buy the venue ticket now and treat resale as a last resort.
