The
Rick Epting Foundation for the Arts in partnership with the
Lincoln Theatre presents
An Evening with Paula Cole at the
Lincoln Theatre.
Grammy winner and 8 time Grammy nominee Paula Cole has released six solo albums spanning an eighteen year career.
Paula has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from
Peter Gabriel to
Dolly Parton (and many more.) Cole’s emotionally deep and thrilling performances are a trademark. Poetic and fiercely touching, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by
Herbie Hancock,
Annie Lennox, and
Katherine McPhee to name a few.
Her single
"Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1997, and the following year she won a
Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Her song
"I Don't Want to Wait" was used as the theme song to the television show
Dawson's Creek and reached #11 on Billboard’s pop chart.
Cole is a scholarship alumna from
Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined), and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows.
As the first woman in history to receive the best Producer Grammy nomination for her solo production,
This Fire, Cole has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top ten hits of the 1990’s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums,
Paula Cole continues to write, produce, record and perform heartfelt, meaningful, lasting music that defies categorization.
All proceeds will be used to provide grants to artists and arts programs in Skagit County.
