Paula Cole at The Luckman Fine Arts Complex at Cal State LA

Paula Cole makes her Luckman debut with a special performance celebrating her vast musical catalog. Defined by honest and deeply personal lyrics and carried by her powerful, radiant voice, Cole has always had a gift for discerning the underlying humanity in stories from her own life as well as those around her, and channeling those emotional elements into captivating music. 

On her most recent album, Cole has applied this natural insight to American history and musical roots traditions by interpreting a selection of classic songs – each of which provide an entry point for rediscovering the overlooked stories and figures that populate the country’s interwoven cultural lineage.
