Paula Cole

You may recognize Paula Cole for her hit singles “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone” and “I Don’t Want to Wait.” She has taken the Grammy for Best New Artist one time with an additional six Nominations. Her second album hit double-platinum, and she went one to become a Grammy-nominated producer and founder of her own 675 record label as well. Now touring her tenth album, Revolution, she fulfills the promise of her 1994 debut. Titled Harbinger, it hinted at what was to come in the singer-songwriter’s life and career. Born the day after Martin Luther King JR. was shot, social justice and spirituality themes have remained a constant in her music and in her life. To quote a song off of her latest album, “I want to get militant, I want to divide and scream; But I think on Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream; I know that in ev’ry soul regardless of their skin; Or age or sex or identity lies the empathy within.”
