Montreal Gazette – November 23, 2003.  
Johanne Blouin has turned out three Christmas albums and is now “up to her keester in Christmas” at the Casino in Montréal.
She worked in cabarets to earn money for her education: she got a BA in music before studying dance at the Royal Academy and theatre at the Banff School of Fine Arts. Blouin hit the studios soon after with her 1988 tribute to Félix Leclerc.
