Together We Can Push Back the Dark

The music was arranged, composed, and recorded by Mark Brazier and Chris McIntyre and featured a diverse group of singers.
The song features an original arrangement of “This Little Light of Mine,” brought to life by several local talented singers and artists, including Ashley Brown, Peace Country Idol winner Olivia Francis-Akolo, TJ Ruckus Band‘s Brad Lynch, Someh Niengor, Scott Maitland, and many others. Mark Brazier oversaw the arrangement and recording in collaboration with audio engineer Chris McIntyre. recording took place on location and at Chris’ CDM Audio Studios.
The shoot took place at GPRC’s Douglas J. Cardinal Theatre. Big thanks to Gladys Blackmore with the SPRC for reaching out to us and helping us produce this.
