The award-winning singer and songwriter Kellylee Evans previews her upcoming concert in New Westminster (Saturday, 16 February 2025), recovering her health, and more, with Joseph Planta.

Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Kellylee Evans joins me now. The JUNO Award winning singer and songwriter will be at New Westminster’s Anvil Theatre this Saturday, 15 February 2023. In fact, tomorrow night, she’ll be in Victoria Thursday night (13 February 2025), as part of nearly a dozen dates between now and late spring across Canada. Visit www.kellyleeevans.com for more. Whether she’s performing jazz or R&B or pop, Ms. Evans manages to perform widely and with such ease. I went on a deep dive through her discography on Apple Music the last week, and she brings energy and verve to every song she performs. She had to put her burgeoning career on hold in 2013 after experiencing a life altering lightning strike. Then concussions a couple of years later impeded her recovery and her return to the concert stage. Hers is a story of recovery that’s inspiring and helpful as she shares her path on the journey of self-care. I’ll ask her about her work, the music, these upcoming dates, and more. We spoke earlier this week, with Kellylee joining me from Ottawa. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Kellylee Evans; Ms. Evans, good morning.
