Christian Cole joined the Out Of The Blue Publications’ roster in the late summer of 2024 as a Contributing Writer. On and off, Cole has spent the last decade or more inside the local music circuit performing with jam bands Day Old Dozen and The Blues Sea Jam Experience. Cole currently writes, sings and plays guitar for Midwest Emo band Downbad. where he resides in Marion, Ohio.
Cole graduated from Upper Sandusky High School in May of 2015, continuing from there into the local music scene. While in high school, Cole took computer and video classes and took a liking to journaling and writing poetry, even creating his own website to showcase his work while a sophomore in high school. He also wrote and recorded albums of original music on his battery powered MP3 player, he then transferred the music to discs and handed them out anywhere and everywhere he went, often times distributing them under a pseudonym. It was things such as this that instilled in him an interest in journalism.
The idea of writing and distributing his ideas and feelings in one form or another after all IS what pushed him to approach Neil Shumate. Cole said: “It’s been a really awesome opportunity to get to do something like this and I really appreciate the chance to do so! This is something I’ve always wanted to do. And for Neil to give me that chance, is just awesome.”
