  Saturday 7 Feb, Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Kellylee Evans, Canada's Jazz Angel of the
  heavenly vocals, makes a hometown stop on her winter tour in Ottawa to perform at a
  fundraiser in support of newly re-furbished Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts & Humanities. 
  
  Kellylee will be performing songs from her upcoming CD, "The Good Girl". The album is slated
  for release in early 2009 and once again features her original material.
  
  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 Kellylee and her Ottawa area
  and more audience as it takes place her birthday and will be recorded for CBC Canada Live.
