An intimate and compelling performer, Arlene's between-song-banter has a much larger role than the typical "this next song is about...".
Her funny and dark monologues between her striking songs are the result of letting loose an obsessively busy and creative mind.
Ron Sexsmith: "She's a peach in a field of ethereal onions."
Through 2008 Arlene spent the year in the woodshed recording new songs for her upcoming CD. But work in the studio is only part
of the story, the real work has been happening on the inside. The new songs chart a twelve step journey into a dark past, the reconstruction of a
broken heart, and an education on discovering 'happy'.
Performing Songwriter Magazine:"Arlene Bishop proves herself a formidable talent, totally capable
of rising to the standard of Robbie Robertson, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell."
Arlene is the recipient of a number of songwriting and performance awards including garageband.com, Galaxia Rising Star and TIMA 2008 Best Acoustic Performance.
Bookings for 2009/2010 home concerts and small venue performances are welcome starting January 2009.
