BIO:
A poet at heart, Canadian singer-songwriter Élise LeBlanc (She/They) is inspired by the romance of wild things. Heavily 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 Janis Martin.
Élise's 2024 record "The Fiddle & The Fire" - produced by Leeroy Stagger (Roster: Corb Lund, Joel Plaskett, Mariel Buckley), was featured in the top 10 "Best Country Records on Bandcamp" Country Queer, and CBC Radio.
Élise has toured extensively across North America from Vancouver Island to Nashville, and has been a mainstage performer at prominent BC festivals including Cowichan Bluegrass Festival, Filberg Festival, Sunshine Fest, and Tofino Jazz Festival. In summer 2025, Élise embarked on their first UK tour, including Maverick Americana Festival - funded by Music BC, Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia.
Élise is currently based on the unceded traditional territory of the Lukwungen People, the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations (Victoria, BC, CANADA.)
