Paula Cole to Play Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, 5/12

The Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza Foundation presents
PAULA COLE in an intimate performance in the Scherr Forum Theatre at 7:30 pm on Sunday, May 12, 2013, her only Southern California appearance.

Grammy winner and 7-time Grammy nominee Paula Cole has released six solo albums spanning an 18 year career. In April, she will release her seventh solo album titled Raven. The release comes on the 20th anniversary of her performance debut on Peter Gabriel's "Secret World Live" tour/album (1993-1994) and her solo debut Harbinger (Imago Records). With Raven, Paula returns to her Harbinger-styled, storytelling roots. Longing, sex, fantasy and feminism are all themes evoked in Raven.

Paula has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton (and many more.) Cole's emotionally deep and thrilling performances are a trademark. Poetic and fiercely touching, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock, Annie Lennox, Katherine McPhee to name a few.

As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the best Producer Grammy nomination for her work, This Fire, Cole has broken boundaries with a searcher's spirit. From her top ten hits of the 1990s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums, Paula Cole continues to write, produce, record and perform heartfelt, meaningful, lasting music that defies categorization.
