About Ocie Elliott
Ocie Elliott, the Canadian duo comprising Jon Middleton and Sierra Lundy, have carved out a distinctive niche in the indie folk landscape with their exquisite harmonies and understated acoustic arrangements. Hailing from Victoria, British Columbia, their journey began with a shared love for music and a natural synergy that quickly blossomed into a celebrated musical partnership. Their sound is characterised by a gentle, often melancholic, beauty, where Lundy’s clear, delicate vocals intertwine seamlessly with Middleton’s deeper, resonant tones.
Their breakthrough came with their debut album, “We Are the Gold,” which introduced listeners to their signature blend of evocative lyrics and sparse, yet rich, instrumentation. Tracks like “Run to You” and “Forest Kind” quickly became fan favourites, showcasing their ability to craft songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. Subsequent releases, including “A Place to Grow,” have further cemented their reputation for crafting thoughtful, introspective folk music that speaks to the soul. For their live performances, the core duo often remains the focus, sometimes augmented by subtle instrumentation, ensuring the raw emotion and delicate interplay of their voices remain at the forefront. Expect a setlist brimming with these cherished tracks, alongside newer material that continues to explore themes of love, nature, and the human condition.

This Grade B listed building, originally a magnificent parish church built in 1836, underwent a thoughtful conversion, retaining much of its original character while transforming into a premier events space.

With a capacity that typically ranges from 800 to 900 for standing gigs, Saint Luke’s offers a wonderfully intimate experience without feeling cramped. The venue’s stunning architecture, featuring soaring ceilings, beautiful stained-glass windows, and an impressive pipe organ that often serves as a dramatic backdrop, creates an unparalleled visual and acoustic environment. The natural acoustics of the former church are exceptional, enhancing every delicate strum and vocal harmony, making it an ideal space for folk and acoustic acts. Beyond the main hall, Saint Luke’s also boasts The Winged Ox bar and kitchen, offering a welcoming space for pre-show drinks and food. Accessibility is generally good, with step-free access to the main hall and facilities; however, it’s always advisable to contact the venue directly for specific access requirements.
