New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In support of her most recent album, Descendant, multi-platinum award-winning singer, songwriter, actor, and author
Jann Arden has announced 14 additional Canadian tour dates. With 18 tour dates already on sale, this will be Arden's most extensive tour in over eight years.
Jann Arden will kick off at Avenir Centre in Moncton, NB, on May 16, 2022, and will conclude at Westman Auditorium in Brandon, MB, making stops at Montreal's MTELUS and two nights at Toronto's newly renovated Massey Hall along the way. See full tour dates below. Tickets are on sale NOW at JannArden.com.
For the first time, fans will be able to hear Arden's 15th studio album, Descendant, live. Released this past January, Descendant arrived as a 15-song collection representing the last 18 months of Arden's life and headspace. A bold, beautiful, and empowering sound of Jann Arden, Descendant signifies a return to form for the multifaceted artist, reflecting on where she came from and where she is headed. On the record, Arden stated, "We all come from a long line of incredibly strong people. Women, in particular, my ancestors, I am in debt to. I don't know how they survived being pioneers, constantly forging onward through impossible situations. It's all very heartbreaking. These songs are about who I am and what I'm made of. A new beginning to an old story." See below for the full tracklisting.
"To say we are completely thrilled to get back out on the road would be a massive understatement," said Jann Arden. "Music is such a balm for the soul, and I know it's going to do a lot of people a lot of good to get out and hear live music again. We really look forward to seeing everybody on this tour, and we are so grateful as always to have so many fans coming back after two long years of staying close to home!"
