Cafe Veritas presents Ordinary Elephant, Headlining, with Jim Lane opening
International Folk Music Awards 2017 Artist of the Year, Ordinary Elephant captivates audiences with their emotionally powerful and vulnerable songs, letting the listener know that they are not alone in this world. The collaboration of husband and wife Pete and Crystal Damore, their connection, and their influences (such as Gillian Welch, Guy Clark, Anais Mitchell) all meet on stage. Their 2019 album, "Honest" has received high praise with their songs of everyman trials and difficulties as well as gifts that regular people experience in life. They have been noted for their close harmonies and intimate connection on stage. "Easily one of the best folk duo records I have heard in years” says PopMatters. "Crystal and Pete, Ordinary Elephant, are an extraordinarily well matched duo, whose music seems to pour out of singular place, like Buddy and Julie Miller, Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings. Two become one, in song. Stripped down, intertwined clawhammer banjo and guitar, and hand in glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery. Songs are pouring out of them, and I suspect their rise will be steady. I'm a fan."says Mary Gauthier "There is nothing at all ordinary with this elephant. They are smack dab in the tradition that I have always loved but have both (all four?) feet in the 21st Century. This is rich ground. Listen!" — Tom Paxton
