Juno Award-winning vocalist and songwriter Kellylee Evans brings the magic of the holiday season to life with her latest album, Winter Song. Featuring timeless classics like “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” the album blends the warmth of jazz with the richness of soul, all infused with Evans' signature vocal prowess. Each track radiates the spirit of the holidays, offering fresh, emotive interpretations of beloved standards.
Co-produced by Evans and Ottawa-based producer/engineer Steve Foley (J-Cole, Chad Kroeger, Carly Rae Jepsen, The Cooper Brothers), Winter Song also includes an original title track written by Evans. This heartfelt composition adds a personal touch to the holiday repertoire, capturing the quiet beauty of winter and the longing for warmth and connection amidst the cold.
From the upbeat energy of “Run Run Rudolph” to the introspective tones of Joni Mitchell’s “River” and the wistful charm of “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?”, each song showcases Evans' distinctive artistry. The inclusion of John Lennon’s “Imagine” adds a powerful message of hope and unity, rounding out a collection that’s perfect for both festive gatherings and intimate fireside moments.
