Anvil Theatre Presents Juno Award Winner Kellylee Evans
For a Magical Evening of Jazz, R&B and Pop
Opening is Krystle Dos Santos
New Westminster, BC. Enjoy a magical night of music with Juno Award-winning, multi-nominee singer, songwriter and speaker Kellylee Evans, Saturday, February 15, at the Anvil Theatre in New Westminster. Opening for Kellylee Evans will be two-time Western Canadian award-winning singer, songwriter Krystle Dos Santos.
Internationally acclaimed and Juno award winning singer-songwriter Kellylee Evans has been making waves around the world with her energy charged performances. Having performed everything from jazz to R&B and pop, she is a singer not to be missed. She has performed around the world, opening for stars such as John Legend, George Benson and Willie Nelson. The Latin Jazz Network describes her as having a “gorgeous voice (that) rises to the heavens in rapturous wonder as if in consanguinity with a chorus of angels.” With eight albums to her name, including her tribute to the legendary Nina Simone that won her a JUNO Award, her music only gets better by experiencing it live and in person.
After a life altering lightning strike in 2013, and numerous concussions in 2015 and 2022, the mother of three was forced to halt her busy touring schedule. Evans has dedicated her energy to recovering and getting back to making and sharing her music. Today, when she’s not performing, Kellylee travels speaking about her journey to recovery and sharing her inspiring message of self-care and finding one’s own super powers. It’s a timely and universal message that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever had their life interrupted by an illness or a setback.
Evans has accomplished what she set out to do with her latest studio project, Show Love, a new six-song EP that offers a fresh and innovative approach, establishing new sonic terrain built on the foundation of familiar sounds and styles from the past. She has achieved a more futuristic soul concoction that blends elements of R&B, funk and yes — a hint of jazz — into earworm ecstasy. Whether it’s romance, parenthood or self-healing, Evans’ impeccable and versatile voice meticulously delivers the emotional wallop of each song with picture-perfect phrasing.
Opening for Evans is Krystle Dos Santos, a two-time Western Canadian award-winning singer, songwriter and performer. From Motown to Country Rock, this dynamic and versatile performer knows how to bring an audience to their feet! Her award-winning self-titled album was released in 2008, followed by Fame Fatale in 2011. BLOOM|BURN, her 3rd studio release, awarded her the Western Canadian Music Awards for R&B Artist of The Year in 2020. From singing on stage with Stevie Wonder and Michael Bublé, to theatre performances on stages all around North America, Dos Santos brings her eclectic style, powerful vocal prowess and magnetic charm to every performance she delivers.
