Paula Cole Returns to Lake Placid Center for the Arts
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter returns to the Adirondacks to celebrate her new album.
Paula Cole’s current tour comes to Lake Placid Center for the Arts on June 29. This is an excellent opportunity for old and new fans to hear her perform music from Lo, her devastatingly personal and utterly gorgeous eleventh studio album.
Lo is Paula Cole’s first album of original compositions in five years. Its eleven songs, written entirely by Cole, explore her opening up to trust again after the indelible blows of life. Paula Cole returns to the helm of recording as sole producer (did you know she was the first woman ever to be nominated for the Best Producer Grammy?).
On Lo, her loyal bandmates of many years (musicians who are stars unto themselves) recorded the album entirely live, featuring performances from Jay Bellerose (drums), Chris Bruce (guitars), Ross Gallagher (upright and electric bass, backing vocals) and Rich Hinman (pedal steel, guitars). It was recorded and mixed by nine-time Grammy-award-winning engineer Mike Piersante, whose unique sound is the canvas for Lo.
From whispering poetry in a low alto range to opening her throat in a primal scream, Paula Cole’s voice is more commanding than ever, revealing battle scars, deep wisdom, the soulfulness of gospel, the urgency of rock, and the sensitivity of folk. Cole plays piano, Rhodes, acoustic guitar, and clarinet and sings her artfully arranged background vocals. She is a poet with a funky groove.
Cole has recorded and performed with greats such as Peter Gabriel, Dolly Parton, Missy Elliot, Meshell N’Degeocello, Melissa Etheridge, Herbie Hancock, Sarah McLachlan, Terri Lyne Carrington, Emmylou Harris, Nona Hendrix, Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile, to John Paul White and Jason Isbell.
Don’t miss what’s sure to be an entertaining and captivating evening.
