CAM COLE
Deutsch:
Er zählt zu einer der beeindruckendsten One-Man-Bands der Welt. Zu Beginn noch unterwegs als Londoner Straßenmusiker, bereist Cam mit seiner einzigartigen, energiegeladenen One-Man-Show inzwischen die gesamte Welt. Egal ob Festivalauftritt oder Clubshow im Rahmen einer eigenen Welttournee: Wer Cam einmal live gesehen hat, weiß, dass man es hier mit einem absoluten Ausnahmekünstler zutun hat. Sein aktuelles Album „Unleash“ erschien im August 2023 und ist das bisher dritte Studioalbum in Cam’s Musiklaufbahn.

Cam Cole is probably the heaviest one-man band in the world, fusing blues, folk, grunge, stoner rock and metal into an unforgettable live experience.
His story so far is that of an incredible journey from the streets of London to stages all around the world. Starting out as a busker on every street corner that he could play on without getting arrested by the local council, Cam’s videos went viral on social media, earning him a loyal fanbase, millions of streams, a cameo in Emmy winning TV show “Ted Lasso” and subsequent tours and festival slots across the UK, Europe, Australia, USA, Canada, Mexico etc., selling out club shows in cities he had never been in before.
Proving that he is more than just a social media phenomenon, Cam has started to conquer screens now too. Not many artists have an Amazon Prime documentary filmed about them, Cam joining those select few that have with the “American Mileage” documentary made about his first USA tour last year. Even TV stations have started paying attention, resulting in Cam performing on “Strictly Come Dancing” winner Chris McCausland’s show on ITV and Rightmove licensing his song “Mama” for their 2025 nationwide campaign, sending Cam’s music into millions of homes across the UK.
Now with hundreds of gigs and 3 albums under his belt, Cam has made the difficult jump from street musician to international touring artist without losing the core of what made him unique in the first place. Still building on the wall of sound he conjures all by himself with just a guitar and his trusty Farmer Footdrums, his live show has expanded in recent months, now incorporating some circus and percussive elements from his crew New Age Collective. All this will be culminating in his most ambitious work yet: His fourth album on the horizon and Cam will be hitting the European venues (and service stations) once more in Fall 2025. Get your tickets and bring a friend, you have seen nothing like it yet.
Shows in Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, an Irish tour, a 20 date UK tour, a standout performance at Festival Vaiven in Mexico which gained him thousands of new fans at the other end of the world and most importantly his first 3-month USA tour where Cam sold out venues in cities he had never been to before are all part of an incredible journey that only two years ago seemed impossible. All these experiences have taken Cam’s stagecraft and musicianship to another level which are at display in his new single "Truth Be Told". Take the feel from the Mississippi Delta, mix the soaring guitars of White Stripes with the stomp and aggression of Rage Against The Machine, then add the lessons learned after a decade of living on the road and you got a whole new take on these old 12 bars. Mixed by long-term producer Markus Stretz and mastered by Brian Lucey (The Black Keys), dirty rock fans are in for the song that will get them out of bed this fall.
“Unleash is an album that once again shows why Cam is one of the most exciting artists in the current rock biz.”
LAUT.DE
“There are plenty of options for picking up Unleash, but this is one album that just feels like it deserves to be owned in its physical format and experienced up close and in person. ”
HARDBEAT MAGAZINE
“Cole’s work is inspired by rock giants like Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Queens Of The Stone Age, Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Soulfly, and Rage Against The Machine but his astute songwriting and fully-solo performance style keep him set apart from any would-be competition.” ROCK & BLUES MUSE
