Élise LeBlanc Ft. Quin Etheridge-Pedden

A poet at heart, singer-songwriter Élise LeBlanc 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.

Élise’s 2024 record “The Fiddle & The Fire” was featured in the 10 “Best Country Records on Bandcamp” 11/23 review, CBC Radio-Canada, and Country Queer. Since 2022, She’s been actively touring North America, from Vancouver Island to Nashville, and has been a mainstage performer at prominent international festivals, including UK’s Maverick Festival on their first UK tour this summer. For this performance, multi-instrumentalist Quin Etheridge-Pedden (Of The Unfaithful Servants) will be supporting on fiddle, mandolin, and more. Quin is a two-time Canadian Folk Music Award nominee with a dynamic, expressive fiddle style that will break your heart and get you dancin’.
