Juno Award-winning artist Evans performs jazz, R&B, and pop music with natural charm and improvisational style

Anvil Theatre presents Juno Award-winning artist Kellylee Evans in concert with Krystle Dos Santos on February 15 at 7:30 pm.

Evans is a high-octane songstress whose natural charm and improvisational style leaves audiences wanting more. She has performed jazz, R&B, and pop music around the world, opening for such stars as John Legend, George Benson, and Willie Nelson. With eight albums to her name, including a Juno-winning tribute to Nina Simone, she has been described by the Latin Jazz Network as having a “gorgeous voice [that] rises to the heavens in rapturous wonder as if in consanguinity with a chorus of angels”.

Opening for Evans is Dos Santos, a singer-songwriter and performer whose dynamic style ranges from Motown to country rock. BLOOM|BURN, her third studio release, won her the Western Canadian Music Award for R&B Artist of The Year in 2020.

Tickets are available through Anvil Theatre.
