Bio — A Gathering of Blue (In Their Own Words)
We’re not here to be loud.
We’re here to be real.
We’re Angie Brooks and Auden “Elias” Cole — two voices from opposite corners of the map who met in Los Angeles, somewhere between a bookstore, a borrowed guitar, and a Sunday that felt like autumn.
We call ourselves A Gathering of Blue because that’s what our music feels like: a place where all the shades of quiet emotion — ache, wonder, reflection, hope — can live together without explanation. A place where being soft isn’t a weakness, it’s a language.
Angie sings with a voice like a letter never sent — intimate, warm, full of breath and truth. Elias sings like memory — slow, steady, written in pencil and kept in a drawer for safekeeping.
We write songs about the things we don’t always know how to say out loud. The in-between moments. The “almosts.” The drives that go nowhere but still feel necessary. Our songs don’t chase big endings. They follow the feeling — wherever it wants to go.
We recorded our album Lonely Road, Open Sky in a small studio, just a few blocks from where we started writing. It’s full of late nights, open windows, scribbled lyrics, and the sound of two people trying to tell the truth — gently.
We’re not chasing spotlight. We’re just hoping someone hears these songs and feels a little more understood. If that’s you, welcome. You’ve found a gathering of blue.
