Kellylee exudes a warmth and bubbly charm that make her live performances unforgettable. Her passion for the music and genuine love of life and people make an evening with Kellylee like a night out with an old friend.
Kellylee is still busy riding on the wave of her 2011 Juno win, that has taken her, among other things, to Paris for multiple performances and work on her recently released CD I Remember When.
Having a voice that mixes Dee Dee Bridgewater and Dianne Reeves, with a dash of Madeline Peyroux, Evans’ is a fresh Canadian voice taking its place alongside these greats and adding its own unique flavour that is — well, delightfully Kellylee!
Over the years, this Ottawa-based singer-songwriter has toured North America and France, opening for such luminaries as Tony Bennett, George Benson, Maceo Parker, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and collecting a host of honours along the way.
Her album Nina reached the top of the iTunes Jazz charts shortly after the album’s release, and Evans was soon earning both critical and popular acclaim for her energy-charged performances as she toured the album.
Evans’ previous two albums (the urbanjazz Fight or Flight, 2007, and an altsoul- pop collection of original tunes titled The Good Girl, 2010) have earned the artist both Juno and Gemini nominations as well as a win for best female artist at the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards.
