Cole is a Grammy Award winner and seven-time nominee. Her 2010 release is “Ithaca.” She has long enthralled audiences with her soaring, agile soprano, and this latest album is no exception. Her concert features selections from this latest release as well as some of her classics.

Cole has released six albums spanning a 17-year career. She has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with Counting Crows, Matchbox 20, Sarah McLachlan, Melissa Etheridge, Lilith Fair, Peter Gabriel, Emmy Lou Harris and many more.

Born the daughter of musicians, Cole studied jazz singing and improvisation at Boston’s Berklee College of Music before attracting attention as a featured vocalist on Peter Gabriel’s 1993-1994 Secret World Live tour. Cole released her debut album, “Harbinger,” in 1994, followed by 1996’s self-produced “This Fire,” which spawned the two smash hits “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?” and “I Don’t Want to Wait,” which became the theme for TV’s Dawson’s Creek.

In 1997, Cole was nominated for seven Grammy Awards, including “Producer of the Year” and “Album of the Year,” and took home the award for “Best New Artist.” She was the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the Best Producer Grammy nomination for her work, “This Fire.”

She was a headliner on the Lilith Fair tours and, in 1999, Cole released her third album, “Amen,” then decided to take some time off following the birth of her daughter, Sky, in 2001. She released another album, “Courage,” in 2005, and again hits the charts with her latest, “Ithaca.”
