Kole is backed by a jazz quartet featuring pianist Adam Birnbaum, bassist Paul Gill, drummer Aaron Kimmel and guitarist John Hart.

In addition to performing at Manhattan venues like The Town Hall, Birdland, Blue Note, Iridium, 54 Below, Jazz at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall with Michael Feinstein and The New York Pops, Kole made her concert-hall debut at Lincoln Center as part of the “American Songbook Series.” In 2007, she appeared at Carnegie Hall in a tribute to Oscar Peterson, and reprised that performance in January 2008 at the Canadian Memorial to Dr. Peterson at Thompson Hall alongside Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock and Nancy Wilson. She debuted at the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel as the co-writer and star of the Off-Broadway revues Our Sinatra and Singing Astaire.
Globally, Kole has headlined at the Umbria Jazz Festival, the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Nairn Jazz Festival in Scotland and the Cotton Club and Blue Note in Japan. In 2016, upon releasing The Judy Garland Project, she toured the U.S. and Asia, performing Garland’s repertoire with a small ensemble group and orchestras. Her discography also includes the John Pizzarelli-produced Haunted Heart (2009); You Are There (2010), featuring vocal piano duets with jazz pianists Dave Brubeck, Michel Legrand, Benny Green, Cedar Walton, Hank Jones and others; and A Self-Portrait (2014), which included interpretations of contemporary pop classics from the rock era.
