Jann Arden Will Hit The Stage This Long Weekend At The Memorial Centre
/Jann Arden, who is no stranger to Peterborough, says she’s ready to hit the Memorial Centre Stage in a city made for performing.
“I think Peterborough has grown a lot,” said Arden. “You’ve got options for venues, you’re in good shapes I think you’ve got lots of good shows coming your way.”
Arden has performed in Peterborough a few times. She recalls once in the 90’s, crossing the street downtown and being struck by a car.
She, surprisingly, remembers the moment fondly.
“A brand new 16 year old driver with his dad, he was mortified,” she said. ”That was the first and only time I’ve ever been hit by a car and I’ll never forget it, people were so kind. I had a show that night and it made for a great story.”
Now, years after she is back in town, after two years of not performing.
While Arden notes how horrible the pandemic has been for many people, she counts herself lucky to have been able to enjoy the break from her usual busy life.
“For thirty years I’ve travelled for 250 days a year, so to be able to stay home and work from home - I was very happy to just be at home and reevaluate things,” she said. “I was able to think about how I wanted to work and how I wanted to go forward.”
Arden will perform at the Memorial Centre on Sunday. Tickets are still available on the Memorial Centre website.
