Songbird and raconteuse Jann Arden is coming to the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre in March 2016.

Canadian icon Jann Arden will be performing for the first time in Duncan in March.

Arden is far more than a multi-platinum recording artist.

Fans can see her at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre on March 16, 2016 starting at              7:30 p.m.

Arden’s not just another pretty voice, though. She’s also a beloved presenter and personality and can be found fronting a number of importance causes.

During her performances, she infuses her adult contemporary pop songs with soul-bearing honesty while weaving in a self-deprecating sense of humour and an almost-legendary endearing goofiness.

Verdict: Arden is the real thing.

The Calgary native catapulted onto the music scene in 1993 with the release of her debut album Time for Mercy featuring the hit single I Would Die For You.

A year later, an album, Living Under June, would include a career breakout hit, Insensitive.

She climbed into stardom’s upper branches and has stayed there ever since.

Arden has released 12 albums with 19 top-10 singles.

For her most recent recording, Everything Almost, she worked with Grammy Award-winning producer Bob Rock.

This album is considered to be among her finest work: progressive, yet retaining the magic that is hers alone.

This will be a memorable night for concert-goers and is expected to sell out quickly.

Tickets, which cost $76 each, would make superb Christmas gifts for fans of almost any kind of music.

They went on sale to the public on Nov. 20, 15 at 9 a.m.

Tickets are available in person at the Cowichan Ticket Centre, by phone 250-748-7529 or online at cowichanpac.ca
