A poet at heart, Canadian singer-songwriter ÉLISE LEBLANC (She/They) is inspired by the romance of wild things. Influenced by classic country, Appalachia, and western swing- her songs explore queer desire, betrayal, hope, and nature lore. Her gentle twang and rich, expressive vibratto nods to classic crooners Patsy Cline and Peggy Lee.
Elise’s 2024 record "The Fiddle & The Fire" - produced by Leeroy Stagger (Canadian Folk Music Award-Winner whose roster includes: Corb Lund, Joel Plaskett, Mariel Buckley), was featured in Country Queer, listed in the top 10 "Best Country Records on Bandcamp" review in 11/2023, and given a full CBC Radio-Canada interview on "Culture et Confiture".
Since 2022, Elise has been actively touring North America, from Vancouver Island to Nashville, and has been a mainstage performer at prominent BC festivals including Cowichan Bluegrass Festival, Islands Folk Festival, Filberg Festival, and Tofino Jazz Festival.
Élise is currently based on the unceded traditional territory of the Lukwungen People, the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations (Victoria, BC, CANADA.)
