Jann Arden – A Candid Conversation With Chatelaine

 

Chatelaine Magazine’s January 2009 issue is on stands now. Singer/Songwriter/Human Being, Jann Arden, is featured on the cover and in a candid interview. 

Jann is very often touted as a Canadian treasure, though true, it’s an understatement. Delivering humor and music, she is a light in an oft’ dark world. 

Chatelaine’s interview is wide in scope and all questions are answered honestly. Topics ranging from the charities Jann supports, to health issues, the new record, and life beyond music are touched upon. As expected, there are moments of levity woven between serious answers. I highly recommend that you all go out and get a copy. It makes a great stocking stuffer! Hopefully it will hold over all the Jann fans that anxiously await the release of her new album in February 2009.

An album that is rumored to be a musical departure for Jann! 

If the interview is not enough reason to buy this issue (though it should be), well, its chalk full of great recipes, exercises, money saving tips, etc. It’s all about making change in your world. As we all know – January is the month when we carry out our New Years Resolutions for six days in a row. This issue will help you make it to day seven! 

At present jannarden.com is under revamp construction, however, to keep up with all the latest Jann Arden info you can pop in on her official MYSPACE page.

Getting Intimate with Oliver Pigott

Written by Pamela Detlor

A few nights ago Oliver Pigott played to an intimate crowd at the historic Toronto venue, The Cameron House. It amazes me how one man with one guitar can give off so much energy. All in attendance enjoyed his hour-and-a-half set. As always “Ollie” interacted with the audience and joked through a few equipment malfunctions. His sister Charlotte stole a laugh when she yelled, “Get rid of that guitar!” This, a few songs into the show, after Ollie’s borrowed electric guitar wouldn’t stay in tune. Taking it all in stride Ollie laughed and grabbed his trusted “Dot On Shaft” acoustic.
Most of the songs we enjoyed were originals, including “Our Generation” which was nominated for a Hollywood Music award. Ollie also delivered a few cover songs, the most moving being an acapella version of Eric Clapton’s, “Tears In Heaven.”
