“The hottest musical sensation right now” —PDX Jazz
To watch Stella Cole perform is to be transported back in time. Her sense of joy and wonder is infectious, with an irresistible charm and ability to expose fans of all ages to the wonders of the Great American Songbook—especially when these timeless stories are told honestly by an artist with an uncanny ability to transcend generations.
One of the most exciting artists of her generation, Cole’s highly-anticipated debut recording features songs made famous by everyone from Barbra Streisand (“When the Sun Comes Out”) and Judy Garland (“The Boy Next Door” and a classic re-interpretation of “Over the Rainbow”) to Billie Eilish (“My Future”) and Audrey Hepburn (“Moon River”).
Upon first hearing her, one is immediately struck by her rich tone and extraordinary vocal control. However, what is particularly rare is her ability to interpret songs that were initially intended for actors in character in a direct, personally vulnerable way that connects to something within herself—placing her in the lineage of the greatest interpreters of the repertoire. In her expert hands, these become Stella Cole songs, introduced anew to young fans who may never have heard the original.
This intimate concert in our Carriage House Theatre is sure to be a memorable experience!
