Mississauga based band Arlene & the People was formed by award-winning singer-songwriter, Arlene Paculan and co-writer guitarist Kevin Dvorak.  The lush guitar work of Radiohead and U2, 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, Arlene & the People became a cinematic indie rock band, framing the pure, intimate and powerful melodies and vocals of Arlene.  Their live performance promises a thought-provoking exploration of mental health, featuring original tracks and visual projections crafted to resonate deeply with listeners, which won them the Mississauga Music Award for Best Live Artist/Band in September 2024.  The band has shared stages with Harlequin, The Box, Farrington and Mann (When in Rome UK), and many others.  Past performances include: JUNOFest London, Living Arts Centre, Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, Rock the Coliseum, Sound of Music Club Series, and Small World Centre.
