KellyLee Evans at Lorne and Lori's


Another house concert at Lorne and Lori's place. Yes, and this time it was one of our favourites, KellyLee Evans. Check out her website.

She's an amazing local talent with 2007 Juno and Gemini Award nominations as a singer-songwriter. Some of my favourite songs are "Rapunzel", "Let's Call A Truce Tonight", and "Help Me Help You".

After setting up in the corner of the yard by the house, her band started cranking it up and Kellylee started into her set. The neighbors had their chairs out and listened along with the guests that filled the back yard.

She had her stories and friendly banter. A tale about how she cut her finger. You can see that bandage in the slideshow.

After more than an hour, she and her band quickly packed up, chatted with the guests, and headed off to their next gig at the Ottawa Tulip Festival. Busy night!

Check out more images from the evening here.

What's next? Some suggestions were made and I wouldn't be surprised if another favourite sing-songwriter will be dropping by before summer's end.

  1. Actually, there's no plans for another house concert at the Carter's this year. But we did talk about who the next talent would be. Do you have any suggestions?
