Paula Cole On Stage in Annapolis

(...) Wednesday and Thursday night find two incredible singers gracing the Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis.

Wednesday night it's Paula Cole, who returns to the stage after seven years of reflection and focus on her new daughter (8 p.m.). After touring as a singer with Peter Gabriel, Ms. Cole followed with the huge success of her own hit songs such as "I Don't Wanna Wait" (the theme song from television's Dawson Creek) and, of course, "Where Have all the Cowboys Gone?"

She also earned a Grammy Award as New Artist of the Year before later making the decision to take time off. Since her return to recording and performing, Paula Cole has released a new CD and performed on numerous CDs and a concert DVD by trumpeter Chris Botti. Ms. Cole is an introspective songwriter with finely honed jazz chops. Seeing her at Rams Head On Stage will be a very special treat. (...)

Paula Cole was one of the many female singer/songwriters who rose to prominence in the mid-'90s in the wake of alternative's commercial breakthrough. Following her high-school graduation, she went to the Berklee College of Music to study jazz singing and improvisation. After she graduated from Berklee, Cole became a professional musician in order to make a living. Drawing heavily from the ethereal, pretty sound of Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos, Cole created songs that relied equally on dreamy melodies and poetic, introspective lyrics.
