  More detail on this artist >Ordinary Elephant

  Ordinary Elephant captivates listeners with their well-honed combination of insightful writing, effortless harmonies and intertwined clawhammer banjo and guitar. The collaboration of husband and wife, their connection, and their influences (such as Gillian Welch, Guy Clark, Anais Mitchell) all meet on stage. You see it, hear it, and then you find yourself truly feeling it. “As genuine as it gets” says Lloyd Maines. Crystal and Pete Damore have been performing together since 2011, but their 2017 sophomore release ‘Before I Go’ established them nationally and internationally. The album reached No. 2 on the Folk DJ Chart for January, and its songs secured them slots as a 2017 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Finalist and Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist. After calling Texas home, the two become nomads in 2014, and now live on the road full-time with their dogs, while creating and sharing the conversation of their music.
