Minneapolis based singer/songwriter Cassandra Cole , doesn’t ask for your attention she demands it. Cole’s music traces the temperature of her own physical journey. From sun-drenched Californian plains to blizzard-misty Minnesotan highways. Being a mother of two sets of twins it can be easy to lose oneself and lose focus, but not for Cole. Instead, she uses her gritty, grounded and often complex life as a way of gripping the audience from first bar to second encore. Cole has written songs since the age of six and sold out the Aster Cafe in Minneapolis for her release party on February 17, 2018. Recently, she released her second single, “Caught Up” after winning a contest to work with Matty Amendola at 825 Records studio in Brooklyn, NY. She performed at the Pourhouse located in downtown Minneapolis participating in RAW’s showcase for emerging local artists. Cole filmed “Minnisingers” which will air spring 2019 highlighting local singer-songwriters. Cole’s diverse tonal palette and unique background provide the scaffolding for her own musical development. As a result, her songwriting is an eclectic blend of melodic soulfulness and modern edge.
