Canadian singer Kellylee Evans gives a concert on Friday March 9 in Mainvilliers as part of Jazz de Mars. Here are three things to know about her.
1. She’s a jazz singer…
Kellylee Evans’ concert in Mainvilliers on Friday will be the first on the continent for two years and the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Revealed in France in 2010 with Ninaan album devoted to the repertoire of Nina Simone, the Canadian has long since gone to explore far beyond the borders of jazz.

2. … But not only
In 2015, his album Come on surprises fans with its electro tone. And his new record, Greenlight continue on the same path. “There are dance sounds and influences oriented towards world music and soul. Anyway, jazz is not fixed, it moves all the time”.
premium So, what is the new Stromae worth?
Difficult to label, therefore. But Kellylee Evans doesn’t care. “I was raised listening to all genres of music, so it’s hard for me to limit myself to one style. My records are a bit difficult to store in stores. And on Spotify or Itunes, no one knows where to put me. But too bad “.
3. His concerts are unique
But in concert, Kellylee Evans and her musicians will respect the tradition that unites all jazz musicians: the taste for improvisation.
“Every night is different. I like when the musicians are free. There is no routine”. The Mainvilliers concert will therefore be a unique and ephemeral event that will not happen again. All the more reason to enjoy it!
