In 2010–2011, Cole released ''Lost Inside a Moment'', an EP produced by Willing. The recording spawned two singles, the title track and "Sunrise", both of which were playlisted on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdom. In 2011, Cole released a five-track album called ''Melodiem'' via Bandcamp. Her first full-length album, ''Lay It All Down'', will be released in March 2014. She opened for and temporally filled in as a bass player for American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins on their short acoustic In Plainsong tour in June 2015 before being replaced by Jack Bates of Peter Hook and The Light for The End Times Tour. ==Early life and influences== Cole (Michaelson) was born in Melbourne, Australia. Musically, she was influenced by her mother, a trained pianist who listened to rock artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and the Rolling Stones, and her father, who preferred Maria Callas and was a classically trained pianist and soprano.〔 Growing up, Cole often listened to concerts such as Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival.〔 She recalled of her mother: "My Mum loved rock, especially guitar-driven music, so I got used to sitting through long concerts and 10 minute guitar solos".〔 She was also influenced by The Beatles, The Eagles, Eurythmics, Aretha Franklin, Led Zeppelin and the Smashing Pumpkins.〔〔 Cole taught herself how to play guitar and piano, and began performing live at age 16.〔 During the early stages of Cole's career, her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Cole described the diagnosis, which made her "fearless" and influenced her debut EP, as "heartbreaking and a complete reality check".〔 She has described her music as "Americana meets British pop", incorporating the styles and sounds of Colbie Caillat, Sheryl Crow, Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty.〔 Cole's music has also been compared to artists such as Stevie Nicks and KT Tunstall.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Katie Cole」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
