Hello Coffee House Friends!

Please join us Saturday May 4th for our 24th Anniversary concert with Ordinary Elephant!

We're happy to report that we'll be back in Ripton for our May 4th show!

I first heard them playing in a walkway between hotels at an International Folk Alliance Conference in Kansas City three years ago and stopped in my tracks!

I sought them out throughout the conference to hear thier music, and have been looking forward ever since to sharing them with our Ripton Coffee House audience.

Honored with 2018 International Folk Music Awards 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.

"Two become one, in song...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." — Mary Gauthier

"Their harmonies, singing, the whole presentation...as genuine as it gets"-Lloyd Maines

"I'm a big fan…intimate songs, weaving harmonies, and stories that draw you in as if you were gathered around an enchanted campfire." — Eliza Gilkyson

We're honored that Ordinary Elephant will join us on this tour as they celebrate the release of thier brand new record "Honest"!
