leblanc_roy.jpg Roy LeBlanc - The King of Rock n' Roll

In 1999 Roy Leblanc entered the world's largest Elvis contest held yearly in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. He won the championship that year and has never looked back. Shortly after that big win he started working with one of the best tribute bands available and has since been performing at fairs, festivals, theatres, dance halls and casinos across the world, wowing crowds with not only his voice but his stunning resemblance to Elvis himself. Other accomplishments include taking top honours again in Collingwood in 2001, headlining in Memphis during Elvis week, meeting and performing with many with Elvis's entourage like DJ Fontana, Joe Espisito and even the Jordinaires.  In 2003 Roy was named "The World's Finest Elvis Impersonator" at the annual Elvis Extravaganza in Las Vegas.  He also does incredible tribute's to Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison in full costume.
