Jann Arden – June 29, Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier

Jann Arden

Opening act: Martha Wainwright

Wonderful pop-rock singer Jann Arden leads a charmed career, acclaimed by audiences all across Canada; the Calgary native and Montreal favourite brings us songs from her latest offering These Are the Days, released in March.

JANN ARDEN is a singer, songwriter, broadcaster, actor, author and social media star. The celebrated multi-platinum, award-winning artist catapulted onto the music scene in 1993 with her debut album, Time for Mercy, featuring the hit single “I Would Die for You.” A year later she had her international break-out hit “Insensitive.” She has written four books, the most recent being the Canadian bestseller Feeding My Mother- Comfort and Laughter in the Kitchen as My Mom Lives with Memory Loss. She is much in demand as a public speaker, and a favourite frequent guest on CBC’s Rick Mercer Report and a guest host on CTV’s The Social. Jann’s most recent recording “These Are the Days” released in March of 2018, is available now. Once again Grammy Award winning producer Bob Rock was behind the console of what could arguably be, Jann’s most personal and poignant offering to date.
