SINGER KELLYLEE EVANS PERFORMS IN FUNDRAISER FOR SAINT BRIGID'S CENTRE FOR THE ARTS & HUMANITIES
Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Kellylee Evans makes a hometown stop on her winter tour in Ottawa on Saturday, February 7th to perform at a fundraiser in support of newly re-furbished Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts & Humanities . She will be performing songs from her upcoming CD, "The Good Girl". The album is slated for release in early 2009 and once again features original material written by Evans. And, much like her first album, the music is an eclectic mix touching on soul, jazz, R &B and world music styles. This performance will be a special treat for Evans and audiences as it takes place on Evans' birthday and will be recorded for CBC Canada Live. This will be the 2nd year that Kellylee will spend her birthday with hometown audiences and the CBC. Last year, Kellylee celebrated her birthday with Canada Live at the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
Evans has recently appeared on two new albums, contributing songs and performances to Jane Bunnett's Embracing Voices (EMI) and to the star studded tribute to Canadian poet and songwriter Bill Hawkins, Dancing Alone (True North). She has been nominated for a 2009 Canadian Smooth Jazz Award for Best Female Vocalist, an award she took home in 2007. She is also journeying to Washington, DC on January 20th to perform in a special gala celebrating the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Evans has been earning rave reviews for her soulful music and charismatic performances since her second place win at the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition in 2004. The judges for the competition included Quincy Jones, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Al Jarreau. With the release of her debut album, "fight or flight?", her music has been reaching out across the world, garnering her praise, national radio play and strong sales.
Since releasing her debut album in May 2006, Evans has been nominated for a 2007 Gemini Award (for Best Performance or Host in a Variety Program or Series) and for a 2007 Juno Award (for Jazz Vocals).

Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide Calendar Problems Somewhat Resolved
by Bluesandjazzguy
16 Jan 2009
The month's calendar at http://ottawa-blues-jazz.ncf.ca/MonthsCalendar.html
is working properly again. However, the week's view still needs to be repaired
by Localendar.com so people who use it can access the descriptions of its
events.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Hopefully, by next week
Localendar.com will have it all working again.

DAWG Day Afternoon Review - Ottawa All Blues Radio that had its licence approved by CRTC as you may know was sent back by the current government to review their decision after an appeal by a French radio competitor.
Here is the latest from Ed Torres, GM, SkyWordsRadio for your consideration.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support of our Blues radio applications.
We received an update from the CRTC on December 23rd. Essentially, they are going to re-hear the original applications and they are allowing all of the applicants to modify their applications to take into account the Minority Language communities in Ottawa and Gatineau.
We did some exhaustive engineering work and found 3 FM frequencies that we or other applicants could use to serve the Ottawa/Gatineau market. We hope that the CRTC will issue us the licence on one of these 5 potential available frequencies and licence as many other players as they deem worthy.
In the meantime you can help please send us a letter of support. It's really easy. Go to www.bluesincanada.com scroll down and click on the "CLICK HERE to SAVE DAWG FM" fill in the email fields and click send and please encourage your friends to do so.
You can also join our facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=6523208335
Please send a reply to this email and let us know if you want to be removed from this list.
Thanks, have a great new year
