For more than 15 years Vivienne Deane was at the top of Montreal's jazz scene. She sang with the city's most talented musiciens - Oliver Jones and Vic Vogel among them - and played in the hottest clubs.
But well into her career, Vivienne's real path grew clear - one lit by spirituality and conviction, but also one with a steeper road to success: gospel music.
A single mother in tight financial times, a lack of cash is Vivienne's main obstacle in accomplishing her dream of recording a gospel album. And when arts councils tell her it's not their mandate t fund religious music, her quest seems just about impossible.
Gospel According to Vivienne takes you soaring with Vivienne's voice and drops you in the middle of her artistic mission: to get her Gospel recorded and to send it out into the world.
