The Koles By Anonymous — Monday, January 23rd, 2012
The Koles in Concert at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Theater with special guest, John Batdorf. Simi Valley, California - Saturday, February 18th, 7:00pm The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center is proud to present “The Koles.” The Koles are a Simi Valley based folk pop group whose original songs, stunning vocal arrangements and, wonderfully engaging personas captivate audiences. Influenced by the progressive bluegrass sounds of Nickel Creek and the harmony of the Manhattan Transfer, the Koles challenge modern day pop with their musically stimulating offerings. The songwriting is deep and heartfelt and the nationally syndicated public radio show “Art of the Song” dedicated an hour long program to the critically acclaimed album “ONE DAY”, calling it “Brilliant”. The Koles are also pleased to announce that 21 year old wunderkind, Wyatt Stone, has joined the band. Wyatt toured the world for 4 years with Rickie Lee Jones and is an amazing multi- instrumentalist. Though the Koles are relaxed and positive, they rock, they roll, and move audiences to tears while injecting hilarious moments throughout their show. Their performances warranted them recognition in Music Connection Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Live Indies in the USA. Steve Brogden, President FAR West / Folk Alliance says: “Two thing stand out. First is the songwriting. Then there are those voices...” The Koles are excited to be releasing & debuting songs from their new CD, “Odds & Ends” at the Cultural Arts Center.
