Cole Prior Stevens... guitarist, singer & songwriter has been working his craft
in the blues genre for nearly four decades. As a contemporary electric blues guitarist, Cole draws his unique slide guitar
style from the pre war blues masters of Son House, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters.
While calling Louisville Kentucky home, his musical ideas and style were shaped and honed from his
West Coast upbringing in Southern California. Whether he is slinging his favorite Strat fronting his own band or sliding a
bottleneck solo across the fret board of his trusty old metal body National resonator guitar as a solo artist, Cole has developed
a definitive, cross-cut style of his own.
For
the last few years Cole has been redefining and reshaping his music craft to create a very unique vocal and playing style.
Reaching for a fresh approach of his personal slide guitar style, Cole has succeed in finding his voice that fans and critics
are now paying close attention to. He shows the listener the continued historical importance of the role of slide guitar and
it's contribution to the blues.
All of Cole's song writing are interlaced with personal philosophies
about the fragile human experience, to which we all share a common thread. Listeners are gently provoked to consider the unique
perspectives of what Cole is all about and he isn't afraid to carry his music artistically into all other available musical
dimensions either.
