Arlene McCann – Philadelphia Pholk Ruckus

Bio

Arlene McCann is a Philadelphia based singer/songwriter who’s lyrics bleed through each strum of her guitar. In 2003 she got her feet wet with the release of her debut album asidefromyou. Since then, the lyrics and tunes have been writing themselves through her emotional wit, and catchy, but edgy melodies. In 2006 came the release of her second album Soaked in Rain, which instantly became a fan favorite.

The long awaited junior album Who you say you is finally here (released on April 10th, 2010), and with it will come Arlene’s first national tour.

She was voted Forte’s (young professionals of the Kimmel Center, Philadelphia) ‘Chosen’ local musician, and played a special set for the honor of the award in March of 2010.

Arlene tries to make the audience feel at home with her jokes and stories in between songs, as well as the ability of the audience to relate to her writhingly emotional lyricism.
With her sweet voice and her rough chords she will draw you in to her world of poetry, love, pain, and you will not be sorry you came.
