Elise Boulanger is a sweet darkness wrapped in orchestral instrumentation. Hailing from Vancouver Island/Vancouver Canada on Coast Salish lands, this Chamber-Pop artist completely captivates audiences with her haunting avalanche of a voice. Boulanger is a bilingual operatically-trained environmental advocate that creates cinematic dreamscapes. Her band consists of Anatol McGinnis on cello and violin, Brock Meades on double bass, Natasha Hoskins on percussion and Boulanger on vocals, ukulele, piano and autoharp. Each member sings to cradle the song in harmony
​

Boulanger recently released her second music video, "Chrysalis" which features the lush flora and fauna of the Victoria Butterfly Gardens and historic charm of Victoria's The Guild building. It was filmed with a team of students from the Pacific Design Academy and showcases Boulanger's fantastical view of nature

 

“Spirit Seekers” (2024) showcases an electronic entrance for Boulanger. This commission was for the seven part docu-series Spirit Seekers. It shares the rumoured ghost stories of locations around Vancouver Island. Director and Medium Paula DeMontigny offers her special ability to sense and communicate with the Spirits who roamed the areas

After performing for over 20 years, Boulanger began touring in 2021 to Western and Eastern Canada as well as Vancouver Island and the Kootenays. She continues to grow in the Canadian market. Learning about and respecting the unique cultures whose lands and waters she visits is core to her values. Boulanger is sonically reminiscent of Kate Bush with her angelic yet raw dramatic artistry and has been deemed as "definitely one to watch" by the Times Colonist. Her actions are bold and beautiful as she takes advantage of the stage to teach audiences how to adapt to care for the environment

She has sung with Australia's Kim Churchill and played shows with Ashleigh Ball (Hey Ocean!), Carmanah, Tanika Charles and Etienne Fletcher. Notable performances include Canada Day Victoria (2023), the Honda Celebration of Lights (2022) and numerous festivals, concert series, theatres, and more These include the Jeux Franco-Canadiens du Nord et de l'Ouest (2023), Fern Fest (2023), Filberg Festival (2022), the Banff Gondola (2022), the Evergreen Cultural Centre (2025, 2023), the Tidemark Theatre (2021, 2023), Port Theatre (2021), and Orange Day in the Bay with Snaw-Naw-As First Nation (2022). In 2024 she was accepted into and participated in Pacifiqe en chanson, BC's premiere Francophone artist development program. Boulanger's French ancestry is somthing that is important to her as she continues to develop this part of her musical identity

​

2025 brings the release of live video releases, collaborations with other BC musicians and continued perseverance as she works on her first LP album
