Holly Cole

2026 Rochester Jazz Festival - Club Pass Series

Holly Cole is a Canadian jazz vocalist based in Toronto, known for her smoky, distinctive voice and eclectic approach to the New American Songbook. She draws from jazz, pop, and country standards by writers like Burt Bacharach, Peggy Lee, and Johnny Mercer, reshaping them with intimate, minimalist arrangements. She has earned two Juno Awards, the prestigious Ella Fitzgerald Award from the Montreal Jazz Festival, and her 2025 album Dark Moon debuted as the number one jazz album in Canada.
