Fronted by former Blue Peter vocalist and songwriter Paul Humphrey, the Toronto-based unit has recently undergone some changes. Replacing Rick Joudrey, another Blue Peter alumnus, is D'Arcy Ritich, one of NYC's hottest stand-up players. Steve Thomas, has been playing together with Humphrey since joining the Paul Humphrey Band in 1987. Also recently added are T.O. guitar gura, Richard Pell, and Rich Greenspoon (who plays in at least half of Toronto's rootsy bands) on drums and precussion.

After the breakup of The Monkey Tree, Broken Arrow's previous incarnation, Humphrey and Thomas spent long afternoons just jamming. "In this 'workshop' setting we discovered the freedom to venture into what is, for us, uncharted musical territory, exploring areas of longing, of sorrow, of love and spirit. As a result our songs are intimately personal, atmospheric and heartfelt," says Humphrey.

In 1996, they went into Henry Gooderham's Red Line Recorders studio in Toronto and produced their first CD, Bend. It's a pensive, hypnotic, misty reflection on life's bigger questions. Their newest recording, Four Ways to Centre, is another step in the evolution of one of Canada's finest pop/roots bands.
