At age 3, Linda Cole, of the Cole Family Dynasty, began singing with her mother and father, James (relative of Nat King Cole) and Erma Cole in Freeport, Illinois. In the following years, as the family added six more singing Cole children, Linda became instrumental in the formation of the “Singing Cole Family” known throughout central United States.

After decades of performing music ranging from Motown to Jazz, Ms. Cole is a self-appointed ambassador of the preservation of the Great American Songbook and education in the world renowned art form – JAZZ. She has been instrumental in raising the level of visibility for the appreciation of the arts in Central and Northeast Florida.
