Trisha O’Brien Cole

Noted jazz vocalist Trisha O’Brien Cole is inspired by the Great American Songbook, the works of George and Ira Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter and the songs of Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Chet Baker. She quit her job as a social worker to pursue jazz singing and "promote hope and healing through music.”

Trisha quickly became a favorite performer on the jazz scene at Nighttown, Club Isabella, Cleveland Play House Club and the Cleveland Museum of Art Courtyard. In addition, Trisha has performed in New York at Feinstein’s at the Regency, The Cornelia Street Café, Theatre For The New City and Joe’s Pub. She has also performed at the Royal Room at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, as well as venues from Paris to Amsterdam. Trisha has released two CDs, They Say It’s Wonderful in 2003 and Out Of A Dream in 2010.

Inspired by the compassionate care she received as a patient from age two through 18 at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s, Trisha and her husband Jeff Cole generously support UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Division of Pediatric Orthopedics. The Trisha O’Brien Pavilion, a two-story performance and gathering space in Horvitz Tower at UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, is named in honor of the Coles’ generous philanthropy. We are thrilled to have Trisha return to the Shoreby Club and enchant Cross Out Cancer guests with her performance during Songs at Sunset.
