Darnell Cole and the Vibe
Experience world-class blues, dinner, and drinks — all in one intimate setting.
Darnell Cole made his record with Marc Desisto, the engineer behind U2's Rattle and Hum and Don Henley's The End of the Innocence. Born in Pasadena to two working musicians, Big D picked up bass at ten, switched to guitar, and spent his teens busking on California sidewalks until the songs came out right. He fronted the blues rock trio Porcelain Hill before building The Vibe, a power trio with Jit Chatterjee on drums and Elliot Lawrence on bass that can swing from gospel testimony to Sly and the Family Stone funk inside a single song. Expect a red SG worked hard, a voice that fills the room, and one show only on a Thursday night.

Cole calls himself an independent Rock and Americana artist, though the blues is where his guitar lives. He came up through Porcelain Hill, toured internationally, and now splits his time between California and the UK, where a second Vibe lineup holds down the stage. His songs run on a simple idea he picked up working as an EMT: music heals the wounds medicine cannot fix.
