Juno Award winning singer-songwriter Kellylee Evans offers a distinctly recognizable sound on her brand new, five-song EP, GREENLIGHT. It is the sound of resilience. While we've all been in survivor mode for the better part of the pandemic, it's been particularly trying for the talented Ottawa-based jazz ingenue: Kellylee was still in the throes of recuperating - literally - from a bizarre accident where she was struck by lightning. Just as she was getting back into her groove COVID-19 shut down the world. But that didn't stop her, nor her creativity. With the assistance of co-producer, multi-instrumentalist Michael Shand, drummer Ian Wright, and bass player Mark Godfrey, Kellylee has magically woven her first tapestry of new music since 2015's Come On, her inspired versatility delivering raw emotion connectivity on such gems as the mental health anthem "Not Today," the soulful "Green Light" and the revealing "Everything." Recorded during lockdown via video while everyone was in isolation, she offers glimpses of vulnerability on GREENLIGHT that have been commonplace and universal for all of us during these strange times. Over the past 15 years, Kellylee has been winning over audiences with forays into jazz, R&B, hip-hop, pop and a Juno-award winning tribute to Nina Simone simply entitled Nina. And the good news is that with GREENLIGHT, this electrifying performer, whose masterful and majestic vocalizing and stage mannerism leaves audiences spellbound, is back.
