About Ocie Elliott

Hailing from Victoria, British Columbia, Ocie Elliott is the spellbinding musical project of Jon Middleton and Sierra Lundy. Their journey began serendipitously, meeting in a coffee shop and quickly discovering a profound musical chemistry that led them to write and perform together. Their sound is characterised by exquisite, intertwined vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar work, and lyrics that often explore themes of nature, love, and the quiet moments of life. It’s a sound that is both delicate and deeply resonant, drawing listeners into a world of introspection and beauty.

Since their self-titled debut in 2017, Ocie Elliott has steadily built a dedicated global following, captivating audiences with their authentic approach. Tracks like “Run,” “I Know,” and “Forest Fires” have become fan favourites, showcasing their signature blend of melancholic beauty and hopeful lyricism. Albums such as We Are The Gold, A Place to Bloom, and Dayspring have further cemented their reputation, each offering a collection of songs that feel both timeless and profoundly personal. Live, the duo’s stripped-back performances allow their raw talent and emotional depth to shine through, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and profoundly moving.

O2 Institute2 Birmingham: The Perfect Setting

The O2 Institute2 Birmingham, nestled in the heart of Digbeth, is an exceptional venue perfectly suited for the intimate artistry of Ocie Elliott. Located in Birmingham’s vibrant creative quarter, the Institute complex itself boasts a rich history, having evolved from a Victorian meeting hall into a cornerstone of the city’s live music scene. Institute2, the smaller and more intimate of the venue’s rooms, offers a truly up-close-and-personal experience for audiences.

With a capacity of approximately 600, Institute2 creates an atmosphere that feels both grand and personal, ensuring great sightlines and superb acoustics for every attendee. Its layout fosters a connection between artist and audience, making it ideal for the delicate harmonies and nuanced storytelling of Ocie Elliott. The venue is well-equipped with modern facilities, including multiple bars, and is committed to accessibility, offering accessible entrances and viewing areas for those with specific needs. Its location in Digbeth also means it’s surrounded by a buzzing array of independent cafes, bars, and creative businesses, making it a fantastic destination for a pre-show wander.

What to Expect at the Show

Attendees at Ocie Elliott’s Birmingham show can anticipate an evening steeped in emotional depth and musical purity. The duo’s live performances are renowned for their captivating intimacy, often featuring just Jon and Sierra on stage with their guitars, allowing their harmonies to take centre stage. Expect a carefully curated setlist that will likely weave through their beloved back catalogue, including fan favourites from We Are The Gold and A Place to Bloom, alongside newer material that showcases their evolving sound.

The stage production is typically minimalist, relying on subtle lighting to enhance the mood and underscore the emotional weight of their songs. This stripped-back approach ensures that the focus remains entirely on their exquisite musicianship and heartfelt lyrics. The atmosphere will undoubtedly be one of quiet reverence, punctuated by moments of collective warmth and appreciation. Audiences often find themselves completely engrossed, with respectful silence giving way to enthusiastic applause after each beautifully rendered track. Prepare for an evening that feels less like a concert and more like an shared, deeply personal musical experience.
