Michael Arden. A singer/songwriter "born yesterday for the very first time". It is a distinctly original sound that, simultaneously, feels familiar. A connoisseur and composer of original music...and a pretty good ball player...Michael Arden has a voice that tells the truth, the whole truth, and a few jokes. And well enough to have been chosen to perform as a live backup vocalist for both artists, Kenny Rogers, and Sarah Brightman. He has written wedding songs and commercial jingles. He has performed with Opera companies and Musical Theater. With Dance studios and Performance Artists. He has played Houghton College, St. Bonaventure, Fredonia, Buffalo State, Niagara University, University of Rochester, and ECC. He's played in the light and in the dark, and with Shakespeare in the Park. You may have seen him already. Perhaps you have had a dream. Michael is currently employed as Tenor Soloist and Section Leader with a highly respected church choir. His abilities as a singer literally range "from Rock to Bach".

Michael is a relatively short young man, with thinning hair and glasses. Seemingly harmless. But, he's a Leo, so...

The material selected for release on this, the artist's first CD, represents a proliferous period of songwriting that spanned over ten years. From The American Heritage Dictionary, the word proliferous means...(in botanical terms)..."freely producing buds or offshoots, sometimes from unusual places". Not only does this suggest the diversity of stylistic nuances that you will find on this record, it may also provide some psychological indication as to why Michael named his first band "theBEANSTALKers". An Original Acoustic Power Trio, theBEANSTALKers independently produced two selectively popular cassettes. The band opened for thePushstars in Boston, Ma. And recorded a song for Media Play's "That Christmas CD".

Michael Arden is an artist. Visual, aural, and otherwise...he is perfecting an already singular style of expression. Listen.
