Paula Cole will be playing hit songs from her iconic album “This Fire” as well her new album “American Quilt”.
American Quilt
Paula Cole has never been afraid of speaking complex truths. With a musical catalog defined by honest and deeply personal lyrics carried by her powerful, radiant voice, Cole has always had a gift for discerning the underlying humanity in stories from her own life as well as those around her, and channeling those emotional elements into captivating music. On her latest record, Cole has applied this natural insight to American history and musical roots traditions by interpreting a selection of classic songs – each of which provide an entry point for rediscovering the overlooked stories and figures that populate America’s interwoven cultural lineage.
“I wanted this album to reflect a patchwork of music from the cities and the mountains, the fields and the rivers – from movies, to melodies that traversed oceans, centuries, cultures, and continents – sewn together with our collective heartstrings,” says singer-songwriter Paula Cole of the luminous American Quilt. Not just a geographical tapestry, the breathtaking collection is a cavalcade of blues, jazz, folk, pop, and gospel – with Cole’s remarkable voice the roadmap to Americana, jazz, and standards.
This time around, on her eleventh album, she has restricted her own writing to one stunning composition, the lyrically and sonically multilayered “Hidden in Plain Sight (I Dream).” “I had heard some historical stories regarding slave quilts, so I did some research and composed ‘Hidden in Plain Sight,’” Cole explains. “It is said that women artists created clues and secrets within their quilts and hung them in plain sight for other slaves seeking to flee to the Underground Railroad. The quilts served as education, guidance for the journey. And it was women’s work, so nobody paid any attention – and it was a radical act!”

Got Married at the Old Church. Would love to see Paula Cole in concert there.
Would love to see Paula Cole, never having caught her live before. Loved her ever since the first time I heard “I Am So Ordinary” on a sampler in the mid 90s!
Would love to go to this to celebrate my brand new marriage. thanks.
I’ve always enjoyed Paula’s music but never gotten a chance to see her live.
Going to church is cool
Haven’t seen Paula Cole since Lilith Fair in the 90’s and haven’t ever had the opportunity to see music at the Old Church. Would love to see both. Thank you ☺️

Love blues, folk and pop. sounds fun.
“This Fire” is the first cassette (aghhh!) I ever had – when I was just 4 years old. My sister and I listened to it endlessly together while growing up. It would be so special to see this show with her!
I need a good patchwork quilt!
Yes, please! 🎶🎶🎶
I want to see Paula Cole because I absolutely could not stand her music when I was a youngin, but now that I’m middle-aged, I realize that her music is actually pretty good and “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” is a bop that poses a valid question.
Saw her years ago would love to again!
I don’t want to to wait, for our lives to be over….to see Paula Cole live. Pick me.
One of the most astounding openers ever was when Paula Cole opened for Sarah Mclachlan WAY back when PC was promoting her Harbinger album. She had the whole place holding their breath in awe. I’ll never forget it. Would love to see her at the old church now!! Please 🙂
I lost my virginity to Paula Cole! Would love to see her in person.
Beautiful music and I’d love to hear it live
I don’t want to wait for my life to be over before seeing Paula Cole live
I first saw Paula Cole live while I was in college about 20 years ago, and it was one of the best concerts of my life. She has such incredible energy! I would love to go to this.
The Old Church has great acoutics and i love to go here this music.
Would love to see Paula Cole.
