Rueben's Ramblings

On April 12, the UP Channel original movie The Music in Me will debut at 7 PM.

Having traded in her dreams of becoming a professional singer to care for her aging parents and their neighborhood hardware store, Jessica (singer-actress Debbie Gibson) is asked to step in as choir director for a failing church as they prepare for their the big centennial celebration. When she arrives, Jessica is shocked to discover that the choir can’t sing and that the Church Deaconess (Gloria Reuben from ER and Falling Skies) is betting on her to fail.

During the process, Jessica builds a friendship with church handyman Ben (Antonio Cupo from Bomb Girls) and is challenged by choir member and teen runaway Alice (relative newcomer Amy Forsyth). Through their friendship and her work with the choir, she rekindles her love of music and finally finishes the song she’s been struggling with for many years – ultimately finding love and the music career she’s always dreamed of pursuing.

Here is a trailer for The Music in Me.
