Grammy Winner Paula Cole To Perform in Natick in November

Written by David Lavalley / TCAN The Center for Arts in Natick

Grammy award-winning singer Paula Cole will perform a concert at The Center for the Arts in Natick (TCAN) on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $40 and $37 for members.

Cole, a 7-time Grammy nominee, has released six solo albums spanning an 18-year career. She 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, Katherine McPhee to name a few.

From a small town in Massachusetts, Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close.

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.

She 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 solely produce and receive the best Producer Grammy nomination for her work, “This Fire”, Cole has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit.

From her top 10 hits of the 1990’s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums, Cole continues to write, produce, record and perform heartfelt, meaningful, lasting music that defies categorization.

In 2013, she released her sixth studio album and first independent album, Raven, through a wildly successful Kickstarter Campaign.
