Laurie Leblanc

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. As a teen, I’d drive my dad’s Toyota Corolla with Randy Travis’s Storms of Life cassette on repeat. Then I saw Randy live with Alan Jackson as the opener—I was instantly hooked. That night sparked my passion and Alan has inspired me ever since. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alan Jackson, Alan Jackson: The Greatest Hits Collection Alan Jackson’s Greatest Hits Collection is my favorite because it’s packed with timeless songs that shaped my love for country music. Every track reminds me why I started singing in the first place—his storytelling and voice still inspire me today. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The moment that stands out most is playing Country Rocks the Hill in Moncton in 2016 with my former group Zarico. Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn headlined—and watching Alan perform backstage in front of 40,000 fans was truly unforgettable. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Absolutely! As we check things off the bucket list, we should keep adding more. My ultimate dream would be to sing at the Grand Ole Opry—or even meet Alan Jackson. He’s been such a huge influence on me and my music.
