Makin Waves with Arlan Feiles: 'Peace Now!'

A winner of several Makin Waves and other awards, including Best Music Video at the recent Mesa International Film Festival, Jersey Shore singer-songwriter-producer and multi-instrumentalist Arlan Feiles has more than lived up to the potential Rock and Roll Hall of Fame producer Tom Dowd saw in him as he helmed what was intended to be his major label debut for Island Records. Instead, Arlan has produced and released six critically acclaimed albums on his own notpop records, including his latest and most challenging LP, "Diaspora," a chronicle of the hardships the Jewish community has had to endure. Like many of its predecessors, "Diaspora" landed on the Euro Americana Charts, reaching No. 5. That industry-oriented chart has been a boon to Arlan's career overseas, as has Netherlands-based booking agent Lucky Dice Music, which annually lands him shows also in Belgium and Germany, where the Holocaust-reflective "Diaspora" has been an inspiration.
