Recording artist, Jann Arden continues to be one of Canadaís most talented songwriters and performers. Starting 2007 as Chatelaineís covergirl and with a personal transformation that people canít stop talking about, her star will only continue to shine. With 9 CDs, 17 top ten singles, a substantial collection of industry related awards and honours, a star on Canadaís Walk of Fame, acting, writing and charity work, Arden is truly an entertainment icon.
In February 2007, Arden released her ninth album, Uncover Me, a collection of Ardenís favorite songs. Uncover Me debuted at 1 on the Digital SoundScan Chart and placed 3rd on the Nielsenís SoundScan Chart. This was Jannís highest debut to date spanning her illustrious 15 year recording career. In April 2007, Uncover Me, was certified Platinum in Canada.
Led by the hit single ìBring The Boys Home,î Arden takes ownership of these personally selected tracks crafted by some of the best songwriters of our time. The tracks include everything from ìYouíre So Vainî (Carly Simon) to an amazing rendition of ìCalifornia Dreaminíî (the Mamaís & the Papas) and the Canadian Top Ten singles ìAt Seventeenî (Janis Ian) and ìSon of a Preacher Manî (Dusty Springfield). Arden has not forgotten her loyal fans and has included a new original track ìCounterfeit Heartî
Arden has continued to tour at an unstoppable pace. Her recent Uncover Me Tour, visited 23 cities, performing 31 shows to sold out crowds across Canada, becoming one of 2007ís most anticipated and successful tours. She returnís to USA this summer on tour with Canadian crooner Michael BublÈ. This will marked her fourth outing with BublÈ ñ having also toured Europe, Australia, and the USA in the past 18 months.
In 2006, Arden was awarded 2 Western Canadian Music Awards, including Pop Recording of the year. SOCAN honoured Arden with its 2006 National Achievement Award for career success in songwriting, as well as 6 Classic Awards for singles reaching 100,000 spins on Canadian radio and 1 Pop Music Award for the single ìWhere No One Knows Me.î
Arden is also well known for her comedic talents, abilities as a speaker and as a bestselling author. In the Fall of 2004, Arden celebrated the publication of her second book ñ a collection from her popular on-line journals. iíll tell you one damn thing, and thatís all i know! continued where her bestselling first publication, if I knew, donít you think Iíd tell you? left off (much to Ardenís surprise, her first book climbed to 3 on Canadaís Globe and Mail Non-fiction Bestseller list). Ardenís ability to candidly discuss topics ranging from bra size to spirituality has solidified her reputation of being unpredictably entertaining, which explains the sell-out crowds at the notable ìMy Life, My Wayî and ìLifefestî speaking series, presented by Chatelaine.
Arden is no stranger to theatre, having performed in Eve Enslerís Broadway hit, The Vagina Monologues on stages across Canada. She also returned to the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal to host An Evening at Eveís Tavern. On the screen, large and small, Arden filmed Jann Takes Manhattan (a documentary-style network television special filmed while performing in New York City), was featured in the Gemini nominated episode of the sitcom Big Sound, and was cast in the feature movies White Lies and Donít Cry Now.
