Details:
Bryan Cole may not have been âborn in the backwoodsâ as his breakout hit single, âIâm Cominâ Homeâ suggests, but that doesnât mean that this amazing new country artist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a city-slicker by any means. Passed down by three generations of family before him, you might say that âcountryâ runs long and deep in Bryanâs veins; just as the three rivers of his beloved hometown run into the waters of the Mississippi. By embracing the traditions of yesteryearsâ legendary performers, while honing his own God-given vocal and guitar-playing abilities, Bryan Cole has cultivated a sound that is nothing short of INCREDIBLE.

Now, with the release of his debut CD, Wide Open Road (Perfect Vision/Cashbox), Bryan is showcasing that signature sound to the world. Featuring soaring vocal landscapes and skillful, melody-laden guitar licks, this Chuck Ainlay (Sugarland, George Strait) produced disc has been garnering critical praise since its February 2010 release. Wide Open Road includes the top-notch skills of such stalwart session players as Mark Greenwood (Garth Brooks,) Jimmy Mattingly (Garth, Reba McEntire,) Steve Hinson (Randy Travis,) Michael Rojas (Lady Antebellum,) and Jimmy Nichols (Faith Hill.) Wide Open Road, which has been in the top 10 on the Roots Report Pop Country Chart for over 4 months, is a timeless collection of twelve compositions by Bryan and his longtime collaborator and manager, Michael Stover of MTS Management, as well as such heavyweight tunesmiths as Kent Blazy and Tom Paden, writers of Bryanâs second single, âIt All Comes Back to Me.â

Following up the astonishing international success of âIâm Cominâ Home,â (#1 US Indie World, #11 Italy, #17 Switzerland, #23 Norway, #27 Austria) Bryan rose to the top of the charts once again with âIt All Comes Back to Me.â The second release from Wide Open Road, the song hit both the radio and music video charts (#14 Cashbox, #9 MySpace Videos, #10 YâallWire.) Now, with his third single, âIf Onlyâ being released to both country and AC formats, Bryan is about to launch his career into the stratosphere. Written by Pat Durbin and Paden, âIf Onlyâ (#4 Cashbox) is an emotional tear-jerker about the regrets of a love lost, that will surely strike a chord with not only Bryanâs fans, but with music lovers everywhere.

While chart success has been extremely gratifying for him, Bryan finds his true rewards through the lending of his time and talents to charitable causes. Whether itâs by performing at fundraising events, being a part of the Armed Forces Entertainment roster, donating tracks to charity CDs like the upcoming Joeyâs Song (Epilepsy Foundation,) or by sharing proceeds from his music (proceeds from âIâm Cominâ Homeâ were donated to the Animal Rescue League of Western PA) Bryan has found that success can be measured not only by his position on the charts, but also by his ability to use his gifts to help worthy causes.

In addition to his involvement with charitable enterprises, Bryan also endorses products that he PERSONALLY usesâmade by companies with integrity. Among these products are Bailey hats,, GHS strings, Geezer cabinets, Voodoo Labs and Rocktron effects, and Dunlop and In-Tune guitar picks, who are currently manufacturing the prototype for the Bryan Cole signature pick.

Timeless family tradition, tremendous God-given talent, a strong faith and commitment to charityâthese are the things that have endeared Bryan Cole to his devoted fans. And, at the end of the day, he is grateful for each and every one. Bryanâs gratitude was rewarded by receiving 3 nominations (most of any artist) at the 2010 Pittsburgh Music Awards, a coveted NMW Magazine Award nomination for Best New Country Artist, and a nomination for Best Country Album at the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards. âMy fans are my lifeblood. Their love and support inspire me to be the best man I can beâon and off the stage."
