Canadian multi-platinum and award-winning singer, songwriter, broadcaster, and author Jann Arden is set to headline a new one-hour original special, premiering Wednesday, Dec. 4th at 9pm ET/PT.
In “Jann Arden One Night Only”, Arden takes the stage for an evening of conversation and music, candidly discussing career, family, love, and loss as only she can. Following its broadcast premiere, the special will stream on Crave beginning Friday, Dec. 6.
Produced by Bell Media Studios, the special is set to film in front of a live audience on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at The Great Hall in Toronto. Fans in the GTA looking to be a part of the live audience can visit CTV.ca/JannTickets to register for the opportunity to receive tickets.
“I don’t know why they’re giving me more time on TV, but hopefully you’re not sick of me yet,” said Jann Arden. “We’re going to have some fun and most likely also keep things interesting for the editing team.”
“Jann has developed an unparalleled connection with her fans, and has built a relationship with them of openness and laughter,” said Mike Cosentino, President, Content and Programming, Bell Media. “This special provides viewers with a front row seat to Jann’s infectious personality, as she shares some of her most personal stories and experiences.”
“Set in an intimate environment and anchored by her candid storytelling, the special provides a glimpse into the life of one of Canada’s beloved artists,” said Nanci MacLean, Vice-President, Bell Media Studios. “Fans will have the opportunity to engage with Jann and also enjoy select performances all from Toronto’s historic The Great Hall.”
In Jann Arden One Night Only, Arden reminisces on historic life moments, revealing embarrassing tales in both her personal and professional life, including teachable career experiences, and engages fans in-conversation. Arden also performs songs from her catalogue of hits including a seasonal standard from her holiday album, A Jann Arden Christmas.
No stranger to CTV, Arden stars as a fictionalised version of herself in the hit MADE®-in-Canada comedy series JANN, which just wrapped production on its second season earlier this month in Calgary. The series is set to return to CTV in 2020 as part of CTV’s mid-season schedule. Streaming now on Crave, Season 1 of the critically acclaimed comedy reigns as the most-watched Canadian comedy series of the 2018-19 broadcast year.
