Born in Toronto with Jamaican roots, singer-songwriter Kellylee Evans is the proud owner of a wonderfully clear and supple alto voice. After first attracting notice as a jazz singer, Evans has developed her own brand of jazz infused worldbeat soul. Sounding like a cross between Sarah Vaughan and Norah Jones, Kellylee is equally compelling as a songwriter. Her self-penned debut CD, 2006’s Fight or Flight, received both Juno and Gemini Awards. Her sophomore release, The Good Girl, is a sophisticated
follow-up, a mix of everything from smooth urban jazz to reggae-dub. More than making good on her initial promise, Evans has become one of the most exciting performers on the Canadian scene. Dave Thompson guitar, Matthew Lima bass, and Charlie Cooley drums
