Local folks don't see much of Brad because "Guiding Light" is not televised here, but they'll get a chance to mingle with him, get his autograph and talk about the tremendous talent that seems to run in the family. His cousin, Kevin Cole, is one of the nation's leading interpreters of Gershwin music and makes frequent appearances here.

Brad Cole currently appears as Jeffrey O'Neill in the CBS daytime drama, "Guiding Light." He has appeared in many stage, television and movie roles. He was born and raised in Southern California and has spent the last four years in New York City.


Cole lived in Europe in the late 1980s where he established considerable success, both as an actor in two popular TVseries, and as a singer/songwriter. He returned to California in 1996 but briefly returned to Paris to share the stage with one of his idols, French actor Jean Paul Belmondo, in the play "Frederick." His extraordinary popularity first as the Prince then as an attorney have helped establish an American fan base for Cole and high viewership in several markets for "Guiding Light."

His third album, "In Our Time," was released in 2002 and is comprised of 13 tracks of original music and features NewYork musicians Jon Pusette-Dart, Fernando Saunders, Shawn Pelton, Mark Pender and "The Church's" Marty Wilson-Piper.

Another critic wrote: "Cole has a gift for penning fresh arrangements and uplifting AC pop melodies on his latest album, 'In Our Time.' Influences of CSNY, Traveling Wilburys and the breezy feel of Jimmy Buffet can all be heard in Cole's contemporary sound," wrote a critic in "The Rage" entertainment mag.

"In Our time is a collection of original Pop-Rock tunes, with afew Blues-Folk detours. Compelling melodies, guitars, and harmonies are blended together to provide a potent, addictive sournd. the songs are the kind of songs you just have to listen to again right away."For more information visit http://www.BradleyCole.com and http://www.NomadicMusic.com
