Michael Arden: The Kid's Got Talent!
One of my favorite up-and-coming young performers is Michael Arden, of Broadway, film, and TV. If you haven't yet discovered him, his rendition of "Run Away with Me" (below) from the show "The Unauthorized Biography of Samantha Brown" will have you convinced he is the real deal. Not only does he have a great voice, able to be both strong and intimate, but he connects with the music emotionally, making it all the more powerful. Check out his terrific versions of Joni Mitchell's "River" and "A Case of You", and you'll be begging for more.And if you want to see more of Michael Arden, you've got the perfect opportunity to help him. He's in the process of crafting his debut album, using Kickstarter for funding, and could use some help in bankrolling it. As he himself says, "I wanna make awesome art with music, words, heart, sound, and light." And when he sings, he brings all of that, and more.http://youtu.be/7r9pajBwiAk
