Luke Elliot

Luke Elliot
Since the release of his debut album in 2016, Luke Elliot has become known for his compelling live performances, solid songwriting skills and his cinematic musicality which has been called “elegant” and “earthy” while offering bold emotionality, poetic lyrics and haunting epic tales.
The New Jersey native now lives in Oslo, Norway and has recorded two critically acclaimed albums and a number of singles in his growing discography, receiving top scores and great reviews. He has toured and sold out venues all over the world, and is especially cherished by his home town Northern European fan base where his mesmerizing music hits all the right notes.
After a chance meeting with an influential journalist led to his music being promoted in Norway’s biggest daily newspaper, Luke traveled for the first time outside of the U.S. to Norway in 2014. There, he formed a band, toured the country, and recorded his debut album, Dressed for the Occasion with producer John Agnello.
Luke’s evocatively titled sophomore album, The Big Wind, released in 2020, is a barometer of these turbulent times. It is a boldly textured and instantly immersive album with a film noir-ish touch that is
simultaneously sleek and modern at the eye of the storm. “These songs “These songs have to do with a pull to come into a stable existence,” Luke explains. “While writing them, I had no permanent residence, but I scrambled to
get this record done.”
Rolling Stone France picked “The Big Wind” as its Album Of The Month upon release and referred to Luke as an “undeniable talent combined with a truly stunning voice.”
MOJO Magazine in the UK called him “…a master of accessible, twisted, gothic Americana.”
New singles, collaborations, and a third record are expected in 2023.
