In 2007, after an unprecedented ten-and-a-half-year run at Phoenix’s world-renowned Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort, Cole realized another dream when she opened her own music venue in Scottsdale, called Voce Lounge. Voce featured some of the finest regional, local, and international talents.
Recent highlights for Cole have included a performance with the legendary George Benson at the Hollywood Bowl (2010 Playboy Jazz Festival) as well as a three-week spring 2012 tour of Denmark and Germany.
Cole keeps an active schedule, performing at top resorts and clubs in the Greater Phoenix area. She’s a featured vocalist in the musical production, “Live from Laurel Canyon: Songs and Stories of American Folk Rock” and recently released a greatest-hits compilation.
