Sunday best as a day of prayer and rest. But every Sunday afternoon,
while patrons enjoy a sumptuous Sunday Brunch Buffet, including breakfast
favorites, made-to-order omelet's and pastas, Kathy Grant Mahon, with her
new band, Chosen delivers the dessert. “Patrons stand on chairs and wave
napkins frantically in the air -they’re not asking for more maple syrup,
they’re enjoying the stirring gospel music of Kathy Grant Mahon and her
band Chosen” (Andrea Macko – Centretown News). Kathy and Chosen
sing “their spiritual praises” of Gospel standards and original music,
encompassing many different styles of music including jazz, blues, rock
'n' roll and pop - all performed with a gospel base.
Kathy received her training from Rex Le Lacheur and the Kodaly School of Music before going on classical studies with Rose Spraggon. A renowned classical soloist, Rose was trained by Maureen Forrester, Canada’s premiere Contralto. After graduating with a Vocal Performance degree from Brock University in 1988, Kathy was awarded Most Outstanding Female Vocalist at the Association of Gospel Music Ministries' Golden Note Awards that same year. A consummate musician, singer and songwriter, Kathy has advanced the visibility of Canadian Gospel music by performing extensively throughout Canada, the USA, Jamaica and Europe. She has shared stages with international Christian and Gospel recording artists Kirk Franklin, Ricky Dillard & New G., Hezekiah Walker and the Love Fellowship Choir, Commissioned, O’Landa Draper, Vicki Winans, appeared at the World Famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York (televised on "Showtime at the Apollo") and toured Europe with legendary Blues, Gospel singer and actress, Linda Hopkins as member of the Portugese tour of the Harlem Gospel Singers. "Kathy Grant Mahon, Praise & Worship, Vol. 1", a collection of standard hymns, was released in 1993 with airplay on radio stations throughout Ontario, and Jamaica. Mahon is now back in the studio working on a new project and her expertise in vocal music training continues to place her in demand at Christian Music conferences throughout North America. Kathy Grant Mahon and Chosen make Bravo Bravo’s Sunday Gospel Brunch, "Ottawa's Most Heavenly Brunch Experience". It’s a “most incredible soulful performance” (Ian Nathanson – Ottawa Sun). A concept made famous in New York City, it is the first of its kind in the city of Ottawa and currently the only regular 'Gospel gig' in Canada. Experience these brilliant and enthusiastic performers as they “extoll the virtues of Jesus” (Chris Cobb - The Ottawa Citizen). You too will be “blown away” by the “wonderful uplifting feelings and emotions that come across to the audience”. Reservations are highly recommended due to shows being “Souled Out”! |
