Cole Scheifele

Cole Scheifele is an up-and-coming folk singer/songwriter born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, and now calling Seattle home. He combines beautiful melodies with deep and thought-provoking lyrics that he says stem from his never ending hunger to discover more about the human experience. “I don’t think we ever stop learning and digesting thoughts and feelings from the world around us” he said, “I try to go into some of the deeper parts of the mind that can be inherently scary, but also endlessly beautiful.” His debut EP “Everything Matters, Nothing Matters At All” was released in 2019 and is a perfect example of this, as it delves into deep human connection, loss, and existential thoughts. Backed by a stellar local cast, Scheifele has landed gigs opening for international touring acts such as Dermot Kennedy (Red Rocks) and Jade Bird and got chosen as a Top 10 Finalist twice out of over 400 entries for The Planet Bluegrass Rocky Mountain Folk Festival Songwriting Competition. He has recorded two full length albums and two EPs with Ben Wysocki, drummer and producer from “The Fray” the most recent being his 13 song LP “Songs of Sleep & Waking” which was released in November of 2023 and he released a 6 song EP titled “In Case You Ever Come Around” in 2025. His new single “Glow” drops everywhere Friday, September 25th.
