Valley Stage Productions is pleased to announce a special performance by the folk/americana duo Ordinary Elephant taking place at the Huntington Library (2156 Main Rd., Huntington) on Friday, May 3 beginning at 7:00 p.m. Doors are at 6:30.

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.

"Keep kind all that rises from your chest to your tongue. Don't ever let your words undo the work you've done," sings Crystal Damore on "Worth the Weight," a song that beats at the heart of Ordinary Elephant's potent new album, Honest. In the song, it's a two-line enjoinder from an adult to a kid. In life, though, it's a mission statement for ourselves as much as for others. And the work that Crystal, along with her husband Pete, has done on Honest is both filled with kindness and worthy of praise.

A donation of $15 is requested for all attendees. For more information or to make a reservation please contact Don Sheldon at don@valleystage.net or by calling 802-434-4563. https://www.valleystage.net/ordinaryelephant.html
