Coles Whalen live in Tucson

Coles Whalen is an Americana, pop and country singer-songwriter based in Denver.[1] She has toured extensively through the United States and Canada and has released five independent records. Whalen also composed and performed the soundtrack to Passport & Palette, a Public Television Series, and is the voice of the Living Spaces 2010 ad campaign seen in Super Bowl XLIV. In 2009, a writer for the St. Joseph News-Press described her music as "evolving from a stereotypical emotive folksy singer-songwriter into an artist who dabbles in crafting melodic pop mixed with touches of alt-country, rock and jazz."[2]
