Saint Victoire is the alt-folk-rock project of Melbourne songwriter and powerhouse vocalist Heidi Waddell (formerly of Cordial Factory). Blending the warmth of country, the storytelling depth of folk, and the anthemic energy of War on Drugs-esque rock, Waddell has built a reputation for raw, soul-stirring performances—big on energy, emotion, and the kind of cathartic singalongs that stay with you long after the show.

While Saint Victoire is Waddell’s artistic vision at its core, the project expands into a dynamic live band featuring Timothy Wolf (electric guitar, vocals), Zac Saber (multi-instrumentalist), Graham King (drums), Jono Allison (keys), and Sam Tinsley (bass). This flexibility allows Saint Victoire to appear as a solo act, duo, or full band, making the songs equally at home in intimate listening rooms or on festival stages.

In 2025, Saint Victoire released their sophomore EP I Once Loved You, Summer (7 August), tracked at Sunderland Studio on Phillip Island and mixed by Ethan Reginato at Forbes St Studio, Sydney. Featuring the dream-born single “The Mill”—which received national community radio support and climbed the AMRAP Metro Charts—alongside “How It All Came Down,” “You’re Gonna Get There,” and “You All The Time,” the EP captures the full emotional and sonic scope of the project.

The release was celebrated with a sold-out hometown headline at Sooki Lounge (Belgrave) and an appearance on the ALMBC unofficial BIGSOUND 2025 lineup. Press support has highlighted the project’s cinematic scope and emotional directness, drawing comparisons to Fleetwood Mac, Maggie Rogers, and Angie McMahon, while carving out a space that is unmistakably Saint Victoire.
