For some people, the choice of a career is a hit-or-miss affair, while others set their sights on a goal and never waver. Ralph Cole chose music after receiving a guitar for his eighth birthday and he has followed that path with unswerving dedication ever since.
Ralph joined LIGHTHOUSE after six years of performing and recording in Michigan with his own band Thyme. His searing guitar lines, solid vocal harmonies, and unflagging energy have played a major role in developing the band’s style. He wrote and arranged many of their most popular songs such as Take It Slow, Broken Guitar Blues and Silver Bird as well as co-writing the hits 1849, Love of a Woman and Rocking Chair.
After Lighthouse, Ralph ran a very successful production company specializing in music for tv and radio commercials. One of these 'jingles' became so popular it was recorded as a single titled It Don't Matter and was on the charts for months. Over the years he has contributed to the success of many projects as a writer and producer and his unique sound has continued to keep him in demand as a studio musician.
