Grammy Award Winner Paula Cole Comes To Thousand Oaks

Grammy winner and seven-time Grammy nominee Paula Cole will perform at the Scherr Forum on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 7:30pm.

Paula Cole has released six solo albums in a career spanning more than 20 years. She has performed with icons such as Peter Gabriel and Dolly Parton, and her songs have been covered by Herbie Hancock, Annie Lennox, and Katharine McPhee, among others. From Rockport, Massachusetts, Cole grew up in a musical family singing for fun: American songbooks, traditional folk songs, Christmas carols, and a cappella harmonies. While finding kindred spirits in records, she become a fixture in her school musicals, which led to a scholarship from Berklee, where she studied jazz singing and improvisation.

While a senior at Berklee, she was offered a deal with a jazz label but declined. In 1993, after Cole's Imago debut Harbinger, Peter Gabriel asked her to join his Secret World Tour. From 1994-96, Cole toured America extensively, building a foundation of support that then embraced her 1997 album This Fire, which yielded the hits "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait," and the 1997 Grammy for Best New Artist. From her top ten hits of the 1990s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums, Cole continues to write, produce, record, and perform heartfelt, meaningful, lasting music that defies categorization.
