Linda Cole, Jazz Singer

The Romanza Festivale presents Romanza's Collage Concert Series on select Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. at the St. Augustine Waterworks. Each of the five performances presents music not typically performed in St. Augustine. Together these acts form a collage of diverse music.

Linda Cole Presents Nat King Cole and Songs from the Great American Songbook

On Saturday, September 28, 2024, from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m., Linda Cole, a headliner for the 2024 Romanza Festivale, once again brings her voice and talent to St. Augustine.

As a child, Linda performed with her siblings in the "Singing Cole Family," a group well-known throughout the central U.S. in the 1960s. Afterward, Linda toured extensively, performing with the London Symphony Orchestra, Chuck Mangione, the Temptations, and the Count Basie Orchestra. With her move to Florida, Miss Cole focused her performances on the Great American Song Book, particularly the jazz standards. She's a Florida favorite and has sung with the Orlando Jazz Orchestra, the Daytona Beach Concert Band, and the Space Coast Symphony Jazz Orchestra.

Admission: $25.00 per person. For tickets and more information, go here.

When: From 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 28, 2024.

Where: The St. Augustine Waterworks is located at 184 San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida 32084. See below for directions by vehicle.

Getting There: While the address is 184 San Marco Avenue, the only driveway on San Marco is Exit Only, so it is not available to access the Waterworks.
