About the artist:
Based in Cumberland, BC – Elise LeBlanc crafts intimate, earthy songs inspired by retro country, bluegrass, and western swing. Her lyrics celebrate vulnerability, resilience, and the beauty of the simple life. Her expressive vocals hint of a bygone era, layered in soulful harmonies.

In 2013, FACTOR Canada (The Foundation for Canadian Talent on Recordings) awarded Élise with two grants to record and promote her debut album, Runaway Kites.
She was a finalist in the Great American Song Contest in 2016 for her song “Diamond Soul”.
