Named the 2015 CCMA Discovery Artist, Cole, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist has spent most of this year on the road and has opened shows for Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner, The Band Perry, Brothers Osborne, Diamond Rio and more. The CBC recently featured her in their 25 Musicians Under 25 you need to know and she’s received shout-outs for her songwriting in American Songwriter Magazine and USA Today. Her song, “It’s For Real This Time,” was played on Sirius XM’s The Highway. She recently signed to WME for booking representation.
Cole like many artists started honing her musical craft at a very early age. When she was nine, her dad surprised her with her first guitar and it ignited her musical passion. A make-shift band room in the basement of her childhood home was the perfect setting to hone her skills. “My dad is a drummer,” shares Cole. “When I was younger he wanted someone to jam with so he bought me my first guitar, introduced me to his favorite bands and we started jamming in the basement. I was hooked and soon after I had a strict rehearsal schedule that my dad made me stick with.” Growing up Cole was attracted to a wide-range of music and considers BTO, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer, Keith Urban and Shania Twain as some of her earliest influences.
Cole has had songs recorded by Marie Osmond and The Railers.
