Lisa LeBlanc

THE LISA LEBLANC show in Edmonton was fantastic! It was a newer venue in town called Studio 96 in a grungy section of town which filled with Quebecers - fitting her song "You look like trouble but I guess I do too" to a tee. Her opener Gaberielle Papillon, played a fantatic set in Franglish. Highlights of her set to me was a song "I've only seen Kentucky in the Dark." as well as her wonderful open tuning guitar work.

Lisa LeBlanc knocked me out. She started with a few songs from HIGHWAYS, HEARTACHES, AND TIME WELL WASTED and blew the roof off with her "Gold Diggin' Hoedown". She played a nice mix of her full catalogue and whether the songs were in English or French they got folks moving and singing on the dance floor. Her stage presence was solid and showed that she has been treading the old boards for a while and knows how to throw a good time. Mz LeBlanc and her bandmatesleft the crowd gasping for more with her seminal cover of "The Ace of Spades"

I cannot recommend this concert enough. Do not miss them when they come through your town.
