ELISA COLE… One of Texas' Shining Stars
         Growing up a "navy brat", Elisa moved around until finally her family settled in her hometown of Joshua, Texas. A town not too far from Ft. Worth and it's famous "stockyards". Elisa got her first real taste for music at the many live venues riddled up and down Exchange and the surrounding streets. Not being of age, she'd sneak her way in and out of these clubs...not for the normal reasons young kids do, but to enjoy the raw sound of live performers. The sounds of gravelly voiced unknowns singing Merle Haggard, George Jones, Ray Price, Waylon, Hank and other honky tonk legends intrigued her and ignited her passion for country music. Currently she makes her home in Bosque County, Texas.

       Performing since the age of three, Elisa Cole is an accomplished singer, actress and dancer.  Entertaining her audiences as a singer is what she loves most, but her first successes were as an actress on Days of Our Lives, The Facts of Life and several national and international commercials (McDonald's, Pond's Cream, etc).

       She loves the traditional sound of country, and has the unique ability to breathe life into each song with rich vocals and stirring emotion.   These qualities have earned her recognition and victories in various competitions.  She has been invited to grace the stages of the Cross Timbers Opry, Johnnie High's Country Music Revue, the Grapevine Opry, Billy Bob's, Stockyards Opry, Stagecoach Ballroom, the Louisiana Hayride Stage, and numerous Dancehalls, Fairs, Rodeos and private venues.    

       Her influences range from greats like George Jones, Merle Haggard, John Conley, Ray Price and Johnny Bush...to newer artists like George Strait, Daryle Singletary, Joe Nichols, Craig Morgan, Kevin Fowler, Mark Chesnut, Pat Green and even the band Cooder Graw.
