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."
Ron Sexsmith: "She's a peach in a field of ethereal onions." Arlene is a compelling performer with between-song-banter that has taken on a much larger role than the typical “this next song is about…”. Her funny and dark monologues between songs are the result of letting loose an obsessively busy and creative mind. Check out the blog to read more. Arlene has been staying close to home recording a series of new songs for her upcoming CD. Followers will agree that her newest experiment in album production is a natural step in a process of awakening. Starting with her first artist performance residency, Arlene has challenged her role as artist performing solo and with a band and creating a new show with each performance. At Toronto’s legendary Cabana Room Arlene’s weekly show featured emerging artists like Ron Sexsmith and the Barenaked Ladies and resulted in the EP "Pinky". After a series of short small venue concerts (54:40 and Burton Cummings among the headliners), and a year-long residency at Toronto’s other legendary venue The Cameron House, she and Blair Packham (The Jitters) produced a second CD, with the press-review inspired title “Snarky Girlpop” (from which 98 Points found it's way to the film New Waterford Girl). Following more concerts with icons Brad Roberts (Crash Test Dummies) and Dar Williams, Arlene challenged herself to write a new song every week at a summer-long coffee house residency and created “Cut a Man’s Heart Out”. Most recently, emotional and spiritual challenges brought the artist to a crisis of consciousness soothed only by meditation, honesty and songwriting. Arlene is the grateful recipient of a number of awards including garageband.com; Toronto Independent Music Awards and a Galaxy Award. |
