Michael Cole

“Let’s face it folks, we are experiencing a musical crisis. Television has sold its soul and no longer has the authority to define good music. Radio stations are playing the same songs over and over again. New musicians that are receiving recognition are often “created” by money and sex appeal rather than being born the musical prophets that are desperately needed to cure the millennium’s musical famine. Fans and connoisseurs need something real, music they can rely on, words and rhythm laced with truth and emotion instead of borrowed verses and beats. Are there musicians that write the sound of their souls and perform pieces of themselves? There is at least one.”

“Michael Cole verbalizes what cannot be seen. Whether he is playing acoustically solo or has a full band backing his talent, his songs are charismatic invitations to view life through his eyes. After traveling half-way around the world and living on the island of O’ahu for the past few years, Michael Cole is back in his home state of Colorado with a unique perspective and matured style. Singer, songwriter, musician, and independent producer, Michael Cole cannot silence the sound he hears inside nor the creative energy that has been building up since he first touched the piano in grade school. In November 2006, his first independent album, All My Words, was publicly released and has since received airtime on KRFC’s “Live at Lunch” program as well as 99.9 The Point and KCSU radio stations. Two songs off this thirteen-track album are currently in the Top Ten rock contenders in the International Song Writing Competition. Needless to say, the world has taken notice of Michael Cole and it is just the beginning.”

“Colorado’s infamous music scene was the first to open its doors for Michael Cole, who has a large local following and has played gigs, both intimately small and large, at venues such as The Guitar Cellar, Lucky Joes, Colorado State University, and The Pinnacle Theatre. Every show is an opportunity for Michael Cole to connect with his audience and present a quality of musical entertainment that is accessible and refreshingly meaningful for all those present. A lover of music, Michael Cole has dedicated every minute of his free time to writing songs, recording in the studio, networking, and making his music available to the public. Whether live at the local hot spot, fresh off the radio waves, or in home entertainment systems nation-wide, All My Words is growing in popularity and reassuring the public that authentic, inspiring music is not dead. In fact, All My Words, named so because of its thought provoking title track “All My Words” will not be the last we hear from Michael Cole. This driven and multi-talented artist is already back in the studio recording his second album that is scheduled to be released in August 2007.”

“Michael Cole sounds unlike anyone you have heard before. Ask him to cover your favorite song and you will discover his rare ability to not only do the song justice, but somehow leave you with front-row-and-center goose bumps. But originality is his forte and he performs his self-written songs with a passion and voice that reminds you that you are in the presence of a true artist: poet, singer, and instrumental performer. Michael Cole excels beyond simply composing and producing great music, he takes the risk to sing autobiographically; exposing his experiences, thoughts, and needs in every verse, without a second thought about it. Listening to his songs leaves you knowing him just as well as he does. True Music.”
