LORI KOLE - BIO

Possessing a smooth and warm country tone, commanding stage presence and powerful vocal delivery, Lori Kole radiates engaging and gravitating energy, capturing the attention of every seat in the house. She has become a first call for Alberta's corporate, casino and club entertainment, providing a full band of seasoned players for larger venues and an equally engaging intimate solo acoustic show. Lori's girl-next-door friendly attitude enables her to build a relationship with the crowd from her first note as she belts out her sets of original tunes, complemented by her renditions and medleys of classic country, blues and rock hits.

Born and raised in the small prairie town of St. Martin, Manitoba on Kolomaya Farms Cattle Ranch, Lori’s ancestry roots are of European and Metis descent. She grew up a true country girl, with her first stage being atop a gravel pile in her farmyard – the place where she began crafting her singing skills. Lori’s first live stage experience was with Manitoba's Ray St. Germaine in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Moving to Calgary, Alberta in 2000, Lori has continued to build her career as an independent country artist.

Lori Kole brings over ten years of experience to her career as a self-taught musician, songwriter, and performer. She has worked to refine her stage performance and writes with others both within Alberta, Canada, and in Nashville, Tennessee. Lori continues to expand her knowledge of the music business in order to maintain and grow a sustainable career in the industry.

In the Country with Dave Woods, Online Radio

“It has been my pleasure to have Lori Kole as a guest on my online radio show. She has a beautiful voice that sounds like it should be all over country radio. Not only does she sing, but she’s a writer on her songs as well. She has a great look and an outgoing personality that makes her a dynamic performer. Through her time on my show, I felt her dedication and passion for making music – and her love of country. With the right songs and opportunities for airplay and exposure, Lori is going to have a strong future in country music.”

Wendy Daniels, Ranchman’s Cookhouse and Dancehall

“Lori Kole has a very unique, sultry voice. She rocks it up and keeps the room high energy and the party going. I am confident we’ll hear Lori Kole on Canadian country airwaves!”
