ABOUT THE EVENT

Come out to the Emerson Arts Center Weaver Room for a special night of song sharing from Bozeman born and raised singer-songwriter, Ella Rae Cole. Celebrate the release of her debut album ‘Rocky Creek’ alongside her grandfather and accomplished songwriter, Bruce Cole from Camden, Maine.

About Ella:

A traveling songstress hailing from the small mountain town of Bozeman, Montana, USA, Ella Rae Cole draws inspiration from the vast nature of her home, as well as the landscape of her inner world. Her songs of love, sorrow, and abstract dreams are intimate in their raw vulnerability, creating a unique and heartfelt storytelling experience for audiences around the world. Recognizable by her warm, haunting voice, guitar plucking in alternate tunings, Bossa Nova-esque rhythms, and folk roots, listeners may be reminded of artists such as Norah Jones, Nick Drake, and Feist.

Ella’s debut EP, Willow, was recorded and produced in 2018 by Paul Durham (of the band Black Lab) in his home studio in Bozeman. Later released in 2022 after fundraising for post-production costs through a successful Kickstarter, Willow has connected audiences at festivals, bars, and campfires from Thailand to Georgia, to Estonia, and across Montana.
