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. The Associated Press is calling their latest album, Honest, “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” “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 "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." - Mary Gauthier "I’m a big fan of Ordinary Elephant—their intimate songs, the weaving harmonies, and the stories that draw you in as if you were gathered around an enchanted campfire." - Eliza Gilkyson "Their harmonies, singing, the whole presentation...as genuine as it gets" - Lloyd Maines www.ordinaryelephant.net
