To date, Arndts has released three
albums: “Red, White & Sister Blue”
in 2002, “Lust, Pain, And Other
Temptations” in 2005 and “I Should’ve
Said No” in 2012. In a review of the fi rst
CD for the Reading Eagle, Jim Speese
described Arndts’ voice as “a sort of
amalgamation of Janis Joplin and Bonnie
Raitt” and a “smooth but emotional wail
that walks the line between self-parody
and soul-searching.”
Arndts grew up in Northeast
Philadelphia, where she resides. She
attended the Philadelphia High School
for Creative and Performing Arts. At fi rst,
she was a dance major, but later switched
to music. At 17, she picked up the guitar,
and at 18 began playing professionally.

She said it wasn’t easy performing live as a
women in the early 1980s, but eventually
she got the chance to play at festivals and
open for other artists.

Many of Arndts’ original tracks are
“sarcastic songs about romantic experi-
ences, some that weren’t as romantic as
they should have been” or mistakes made.

But one thing she didn’t regret was never
giving up her music. Arndts chose not
to pursue a full-time music career due
to being a single mother, so she worked
to balance raising two kids, Melody and
Jordan, with her passion.

“I had so many people when I was
“ I love it here at The Hearth. I call it ‘my castle.’
Everything is so beautiful and clean. The staff is
wonderful - Kylie is like an angel with wings.

I’m glad my daughter found ‘my castle’ for me.”
