Whether channeling the timeless elegance of Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand or reinventing the hits of Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish, Stella Cole captivates audiences with a voice that transcends generations. She has graced New York’s premier jazz venues—including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland Jazz Club, and Café Carlyle—and has garnered praise on social media from luminaries like Betty Buckley, David Foster, Donna Murphy, and James Taylor. Now, she brings her irresistible charm, extraordinary vocal prowess, and spirit of joy and wonder to the Spiegeltent.
To watch Stella Cole perform is to be transported back in time. Her sense of joy and wonder is infectious—one look at her massive social media following makes this clear. Take a quick scroll through the comments of any of her many viral videos and you’ll see not only her irresistible charm, but an 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.
On her highly-anticipated debut recording (released in 2024), Stella performs a collection of classics in a variety of settings, including many featuring an orchestra arranged by Grammy Award-winner Alan Broadbent. The album 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” of course!).
Upon first hearing Stella Cole, 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. Perhaps most exciting, to her many young fans, who have never heard these songs before, these are Stella Cole songs, which clearly makes her one of the most exciting artists of her generation. stellacole.net
