Who?
arlene & the people
This all began as a songwriting journey between Arlene and Kevin.
To make the music a little broader, a little deeper, and maybe a little more honest.
To follow the song where it led.
When Jan and Len joined, things developed organically.
Flesh grew on bones, ideas flowed, and eventually they realized
they became a band.
The lush guitar work of Radiohead and U2, the counterpoint of the best of 90's and late 80's melodic Rock. The rhythm and arrangement of New Wave and just an insinuation of the drama of classic prog; weaves through the songs. With vocals giving both the attitude of Alanis Morissette and the fragility of Feist.
In the end, arlene & the people are
a cinematic indie rock band,
Framing the Pure, Intimate and always Powerful melodies and vocals of Arlene.
We hope it makes you feel.

This is how we play
This is how we pose
Arlene's voice is on another level, as it has a style similar to that of Alanis Morissette, having that enormous power and attitude, but loaded with an emotionality that touches your heart, managing to deliver a narrative about the struggle with mental health and emotional support.
The band has struck a perfect balance between the melodic and the introspective, creating a piece that is not only heard, but feels deeply. Arlene & the People is a band that starts strong with its first singles and which we will be following very closely.
