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.
This album is his most personal and his most painful. It is an album about his Jewish heritage and the Holocaust. It is a painfully beautiful piece of art.
Years before moving to New Jersey, Arlan was in a band called Natural Causes.
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.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Shine" by Princeton singer-songwriter Helen O'Shea. The song from Helen's latest album, "“Songs in the Key O," features E Street Band backing vocalist Michelle Moore.
