It
may be hard to describe the feelings you get when you've just witnessed
something you'll never forget. When you take the long way home and see
things you miss every other day. Or when you change the station and hear
a song that just grabs you and no matter how hard you try, you just
can't get it out of your head.
That is what Canadian born Singer Songwriter Lori Kole brings to the table........... Something Special.
Within
a few bars of her latest original offerings you feel a commanding
presence and her sultry, smokey vocals draw you in for a closer
look.............
Her fans agree, Lori sets herself apart by
connecting to the crowd in a way many new artists don't. Whether it's a
small intimate crowd or A full blown sold out venue, she makes eveyone
feel important leaving everything on the stage.
Lori was born and
raised in the town of St. Martin, Manitoba. She now calls Calgary,
Alberta her home. Her strongest influences have been Dolly Parton, Reba
McEntire, Tanya Tucker, and Stevie Nicks.
Lori is currently
releasing to Canadian Radio her latest single " Happy " co-written with
Nashville songsmith Adam Wheeler. Be sure to listen for her on your
favorite local radio station and look for her upcoming album Barefeet
& Butterflies due out in 2010 produced by Nashville's Steve Fox.

Dad's band, and learning from the likes of guitarists Craig Young and
Derrick LittleJohn, Barry has diligently continued to develope that
sought after traditional country tone. Barry has been well versed in
the local country scene and has healined with various recording artists

work ethic has not only been an asset to my project but the energy he
brings to the stage is second to none.
