LUKE ELLIOT LAUNCHES ALBUM – The Big Wind – ON 24TH OF APRIL WITH NEW TOURDATES IN NORWAY AND SWEDEN


Some people chase storms, marveling at the sheer awesomeness of nature’s transformative power. Others weather storms, and come out a bit banged up but wiser. Recently, singer-songwriter Luke Elliot found himself pursuing a storm-chaser jones, studying Ireland’s infamously devastating 1839 windstorm which has been immortalized in poetry and prose as “The Night Of The Big Wind.” Simultaneous to this, Luke found himself embroiled in a maelstrom of personal and professional activity. His evocatively 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.”


Luke has garnered favorable comparisons to roots, folk, and rock icons such as Hank Williams, Big Joe Turner, Bob Dylan, Elmore James, PJ Harvey, and Nick Cave. His cinematic musicality is both elegant and earthy, offering forth bold emotionality, poetic lyrics, haunting epic tales, and a voice that exudes a richly patinaed vulnerability. Previously, Luke has issued an EP, and a LP, Dressed for the Occasion, produced by indie icon, John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile) which garnered prime critical acclaim.


Luke was born and raised in New Jersey, but, as an artist, he was bred around the tri-state area. These days, Luke enjoys an international artist’s profile, having toured extensively in the U.S., Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, and Europe.


Luke Elliot’s latest, The Big Wind, due for release on 24th of April 2020 is a boldly textured and instantly immersive album that recalls the film noir-ish touch of Tom Waits and Nick Cave. The production, in addition to being filmic, is also sleekly modern.


The 10-track album opens with single “All On Board” due for release 24th of January 2020. The song’s gorgeously moody orchestral sensibility and adventurous musicality set the tone for the album, sending the message this is a different animal than its predecessor.
