With origins as a New Jersey rock and roller, Luke Elliot has steadily proven that he is a force to be reckoned with in an international musical landscape. His packed live performances, alluring voice, and evocative writing suggest that his presence is permanent.

Just over one year ago, Elliot was writing and playing his music live while working a sales job outside Princeton, New Jersey. In one year’s time, Luke’s life and musical career has taken a dramatic upward turn that now finds him looking out over crowds of more than 1,500 screaming fans in Oslo, Norway. Recently, he was named one of the top five new artists by Tidal, the innovative streaming service now owned by artists Jay Z, Jack White, Rihanna, Madonna and others.

Elliot released his debut EP "Death of a Widow" through Yerbird Records in 2010. The EP gained him a dedicated fan base that followed him through a circuit of venues across the Northeastern United States. Playing in New York's Lower East Side quickly led to performances at popular venues like Mercury Lounge and Webster Hall. He began headlining major Philadelphia venues such as North Star and World Cafe Live.

Luke Elliot’s evocatively titled sophomore album, The Big Wind, is a barometer of these turbulent times. These songs have to do with a pull to come into a stable existence. While writing them, I had no permanent residence, but I stopped being a mess, I met my wife, and I scrambled to get this record done, the New Jersey-based artist reveals. Everybody has to grow up some time.The Big Wind, is a boldly textured and instantly immersive album with a noir-ish touch that is simultaneously sleek and modern at the eye of the storm. Luke was born and raised in New Jersey but is currently residing in Oslo, Norway where he has garnered favorable comparisons to roots, folk, and rock icons such as Hank Williams, Big Joe Turner, Bob Dylan, PJ Harvey, and Nick Cave. His cinematic musicality is both elegant and earthy, offering bold emotionality, poetic lyrics, haunting epic tales, and a voice that exudes a richly painted vulnerability.
