Shortly after the passing of Frank Sinatra in 1998, vocalist Earl Cole put together a Sinatra tribute called ‘New York, New York’ and performed sell out shows at a small suburban café in Perth. For the past 25 years the versatile entertainer has earned a reputation as one of Western Australia's premier male vocalists covering music from the Great American songbook to 80s rock and pop. He has performed at countless events and functions in WA, interstate and internationally and is a sought after corporate entertainer and wedding singer.
Best known for covering the music of Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra and all the great jazz and swing crooners, Earl can perform swing and jazz crossover music as a soloist with backing tracks or with a piano accompanist. From floor shows with dancers to background music, Earl can customise his song selection and performance style to suit every client's needs. Earl also offers a DJ & MC service to compliment his live performances.
In a previous life Earl’s original albums enjoyed chart success in the mid 1980s including a number one album on the WA Independent charts. In 2010 he turned his attention to covering 80s music and his six piece band ‘80s Inc’ has become one of Perth’s post popular retro cover bands. He also offers 80s themed solo, duo and trio options.
Earl’s impressive repertoire of well over 400 songs means he can customise his song selections to suit almost any occasion. Few performers can offer such an expansive repertoire.
