Luke Elliot

Elliot traveled to Norway and found his backing band there. He recorded his debut album, Dressed for the Occasion, in Halden, Norway, at Athletic Studio. The LP received positive reviews, earning a dice throw of 6 from the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. A week before the official release of Dressed for the Occasion for the EU market, Elliot was featured on French radio station RTL2. The LP was released to the EU market on June 3, 2016.

Playing in New York's Lower East Side, Elliot and his band made their way from the small bar scene to some of New York's more popular venues, including Mercury Lounge and Webster Hall. Director Paul Cantagallo ask Elliott to compose the music for his film, Benny the Bum, which won Best Local Film at the 2012 Philadelphia Independent Film Festival. Elliot began headlining Philadelphia venues such as North Star and World Cafe Live. He was introduced to Rihanna's former manager, Christa Shaub, which led to a chance meeting with an influential Norwegian journalist. That meeting led to a tour of Norway, a television appearance on the Norwegian show Store Studio, and a deal with the label Indie Recordings. Shortly after, he was featured on the music subscription service Tidal Rising.
