EVELYN JESS YES B’Y! EPISODE:

This episode of Yes B’y! takes a deep dive into the flashy salt water brilliance of EVELYN JESS! An amazing songwriter with strong Newfoundland themes, Evelyn Jess brings a shocking diversity ranging from fast, upbeat, high energy and gritty/edgy songs pushing boundaries, to wonderfully soft, relaxing, beautiful melodies – sometimes with a twist, often with fun!

With already four original albums, plus other singles and great videos, she also leads several bands (with great names!) and loves playing live shows – while over the last year making a splash with lead vocals on several releases from the internet pandemic sensation - CoVideo Collective!

A strong advocate for LGBTQ human rights, Evelyn Jess’ song 'Paint The Crosswalk' is a brilliant parody of the RuPaul hit – highlighting the Springdale high school crosswalk debacle that gained national attention. Come on b’ys, we gotta do better! EJ & The Hot Mess band is leading the way!

Evelyn’s partner – – Bridget B – – has the absolute super coolest name ever. We’re convinced she’s a French Film STAR! And Tattoo Artist Queen. Curious? We talk about lighthouse-two tattoos too! We also learn about Evelyn’s stage name & much more – including her debut Sunshine stinger!

Evelyn Jess won the Amelia Earhart Songwriting Competition for her classic single 'Trepassey in June'. Ever wonder about the first female to pilot an airplane solo across the Atlantic? Yes, Yes B’y! is even educational – we relive those pioneering aviation feats through that chill song, and also poke around the Irish Loop for some basketball misadventures too!

Also in that set… longing for the soothing, rhythmic sounds of the ocean? We are too! Evelyn Jess to the rescue – with her song “Waves”. Powerful and gentle – all at once. Lovely!

EJ’s touching tribute “Georgia” is dedicated by Yes B’y! to Marilyn, the Official Meow’er of Yes B’y! and her grand-daughter Georgia who is seeking light through a lifetime rough patch. The uplifting 'Mother Like You' shows us how!

Speaking of Ruff Patches… that goes totally sideways this week as we hit a Rabbit Rampage Fiasco! Yes, it’s BUN THE DESTROYER! Somehow we end up at Happy Days (Yes, the TV show) – who knows what’ll happen when Pauline & Derek gets a' chattin’!. . . 

Near the end we showcase the lovely ballad “Newfoundland” – but in true EJ style, we finally get a round tuit and mix it up with a rousing fiery CoVideo Collective cover clip from RATT’s Round & Round to close things out!

With Evelyn Jess & Yes B’y!, you just never know what’s next! A pure talent and staunchly proud Newfoundlander – and forever true to her rural roots - Evelyn Jess is a gem on the beach of life whose music will wash over you like a soft gentle ripple, or a wild storm surge - Beware!
