The term “smoke and mirrors” refer to the trickery used by magicians to fool an audience - but don’t we all indulge in a bit of hocus-pocus to represent ourselves to the world? On his new album, Smoke + Mirrors, Steve Cole offers up an intimately personal reflection of his own true self, free of trickery or sleight of hand. Created entirely in pandemic-necessitated isolation, Smoke + Mirrors brings together an all-star band with Cole’s longtime producer, co-writer and multi-instrumentalist David Mann.
