Tom Cole Sings Cowboy Songs and Plays Western and Country Music
|
Tom
Cole is a larger than life, tall drink of water (6ft 6in), that can quench
your thirst for country music. His rich baritone voice was made
to sing cowboy songs. His approach to the music makes the listener
believe every word he sings. Tom has reached into the hearts of
audiences all over Western Canada and continues to touch people
with his music wherever he goes.
Tom grew up in Northern British Columbia
in a place called Rose Prairie. His father ran a Community Pasture
for the Forestry while raising his own cattle on their ranch beside
the Beatton River. It was a natural thing to enter the rodeo circuit
with his friends as a teenager, but Tom claims the only prize he
ever took home was a bruise or two. After traveling to the city
to do his country music recordings he decided to move to Calgary to be closer to the
industry and perform with his band
Cole Cole Heart. In 1992 Tom garnered "The CMAC Most Promising Artist"
award and in 1994 the band took away "Group Of The Year."
After almost seven years of touring Tom moved
back to BC and is spending more time with his wife, daughter and
son. He still performs at the festival and convention circuit during the
summer along with the western music circuit of Cowboy Gathering and Festivals. Tom is
still performing and recording and continues to write with his wife Margie.
The past few years have been spent working with the fabulous
Brian Salmond,
a long time friend, entertainer, and cowboy poet from the Charlie Lake area. Tom
says about their entertaining together, “Brian recites a few cowboy
poems, I sing a few cowboy songs, we tell a few cowboy jokes and
we all have a bunch of fun.”
