GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Paula Cole will be at MIM June 21, 2014.
Cole has made a career out of breaking boundaries with her poetic and intelligent writing. Her lyrics based on touching introspection connect with listeners on a deeper level. A tough and tender voice develops the confessional tones Cole delivers in each of her performances.
Cole has earned several GRAMMY nominations and won the GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist in 1998. She has performed with other artists such as Peter Gabriel, Melissa Etheridge, and Sarah McLachlan over the course of her career, and singles like “I Don’t Want to Wait” are almost synonymous with the 1990s.
