Citywide Blackout

Finding your voice in writing with Darlene Koldenhoven


Listen Later

GRAMMY® Winner and three-time nominee Darlene Koldenhoven’s memoir, “Put Your Dress Down and Sing” (Sibylline Press), shows how a shy, introverted, Calvinist girl from the South Side of Chicago became known globally as the tambourine-waving choir nun in both “Sister Act” movies with Whoopi Goldberg and the featured soprano soloist in “Yanni, Live at the Acropolis,” the most popular PBS-TV Special and video seen by over 1.5 billion worldwide.

And believe it or not, that’s just a portion of the amazing tales in this book.

Darlene talks about the book’s origins and how she came to work with Sibylline Press. We go into the writing process, which took only a handful of months, and how she wound up needing to cut around 100,000 words from the manuscript!

Darlene shares a few stories in the book, such as how the title came to be, her many years in music and the message she hopes to impart to readers.
