Cam Cole

Cam Cole is a pop, rock and indie act whose one-person live show blends blues, folk, grunge and metal. This concert at The Live Rooms in Chester is presented by Planet Rock.

Cam Cole began by busking in Camden Town, and the audiences grew until they outgrew the pavement. The project has since appeared in the Emmy-winning series Ted Lasso, been followed by an Amazon Prime documentary about a first American tour, and released four albums. Shows have sold out across Europe, North America and Australia. The sound draws on delta blues, folk, grunge, stoner rock and metal. The fan favourite "Mama" has a place in the repertoire, having also featured in a Rightmove campaign, and the newest album, "Lost in Creation", is presented as the most ambitious release so far.

On stage, Cam Cole works alone with a guitar, a set of Farmer Footdrums and a powerful voice, producing a dense sound that one performer creates with the output of several musicians. The show has grown into a rock 'n'roll circus, with staged props, showmanship and help from crew members of the New Age Collective. Songs are drawn from across the catalogue, alongside new material.

The Live Rooms is a Chester venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The night is presented by Planet Rock and will suit listeners who follow the rock side of the programme, as well as those who know the earlier work.
