Arlan Feiles and the Broken Hearted
"Live From The Strand"

Released in 2017

Arlan Feiles is a singer-songwriter based in New Jersey. He is one of the most talented songwriters I know . I'll never forget the first time I finally played a CD of his that was sent to my online radio station.  The album simply blew me away.  As did just about every release that followed. His albums are ones I always look forward to.

Years before moving to New Jersey, Arlan was in a band called Natural Causes. In this great sounding concert, he plays many of his most popular songs and even one of my favorite tracks from that band "Hangin' Mr. Johnson"

I first interviewed Arlan Feiles in 2005 for Upstage Magazine. That interview can be found here.

In 2016, I interviewed him as he was about to record a live album. That feature can be found here.

In 2025, I caught up with him again to talk about his brilliant album, "Diaspora". That interview can be found here.
