AUCTION: Coles Whalen Package

BIDDING CLOSED!

Coles Whalen is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter, who writes beguiling melodies to strong, thoughtful lyrics. She can be a little bit country and a little bit rock-and-roll, and a little bit jazzy, come to think of it. Starting out as an acoustic guitar performer, she has honed her sound to such a level that in the last year she has opened for both Joan Jett and Pat Benatar. (She’s certainly got the voice for it).

Coles' first full CD, “Gee Baby,” is more quiet work. There are beautiful songs here, reflective stories, like “Sevens” (a ride through the open west, a troubled relationship, and the odometer turning over) and “Manhattan” (an old friend, voice barely audible over the phone, while the lights of New York surround); and sweet ballads like “The Hand That Gives The Rose.”

Her most recent CD “The Whistle Stop Road Record,” shows how far she’s come in terms of orchestration, production and sheer energy. She belts out “Wrecking Ball” (‘You turn me like a steering wheel/You close me like a business deal’) and “Average 20 Something” -- then turns in the utterly gorgeous “So It Is” and a cover of Dire Straits’ “Romeo and Juliet.”

Coles is offering signed copies of both CDs to the winner of this auction.
