Arden cut a solo 7" single as Jann Richards (her real name) when she was 17 and soon became a fixture on the grimy Calgary music scene often stuck in the back of a van with five guys who would, night after night, play Tina Turner, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth and Foreigner covers (quite badly too).

 Jann Arden
Canadian singer Jann Arden has no problem selling records in the Great White North—her second album, 1995's Living Under June, went six-times platinum—but she's still searching for that south-of-the-border breakthrough in the States.
Arden's songwriting (she wrote every track but the campy remake of "To Sir With Love" that closes out the record) is intelligent, introspective and laden with enough hooks to secure a place for a track or two on modern-rock radio.
The CD kicks off with the defiant lament "The Sound Of," which has Arden setting the record's emotionally ambivalent mood with the line "Swear to God, I'm not lonely/ Just alone." It's an evocative song, highlighted by her soaring vocals and Mark Goldenberg's sparkling 12-string guitar work.

With the release of Jann Arden's self-proclaimed, GREATEST HURTS ­ The Best of Jann Arden, an intimate musical self-portrait is created through the emotional experiences captured in all of her most popular songs.
Simply stated, Jann Arden is the epitome of paradox; a "down-home" "celebrity" equally comfortable in both of these worlds.
Jann serves a dose of perspective with a hooky vocal chorus in the first single, 'What I am is too far in and can't be found.' Musically, this song is unlike anything Jann has done in the past.

In support of her latest album, LOVE IS THE ONLY SOLDIER, Arden's seventh release contains many firsts: the first time Jann has produced her own album, the first time Jann recorded in her basement, the first time Jann used her band on an album.
Jann's basement was transformed for this project, part music store with racks of guitars of every imaginable shape, colour and sound and part pawnshop with keyboards, tambourines and other musical bits filling every inch of counter top.
