Join us in Ripton Sat. May 4th for a concert with International Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year Ordinary Elephant!
It will be our 24th Anniversary show and a CD Release concert for thier new record "Honest."
Crystal and Pete Damore, known as Ordinary Elephant, have been performing together since 2011, when they called Texas home. The two took to full-time nomadic life with their dogs in 2014, and are still finding home and music wherever they go. The duo was both a Kerrville New Folk Finalist and Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist in 2017, and their release 'Before I Go' was No. 7 on the Folk DJ Chart for that year.
"Their harmonies, singing, the whole presentation...as genuine as it gets" -Lloyd Maines
"Two become one, in song...hand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery," says Mary Gauthier
"I remember when Gillian Welch and David Rawlings were here for the first time...I suspect that this couple is going to play in the same league in the foreseeable future." -Dani Heyvaert, Rootstime
"These are elegant, warm and engaging songs delivered and played with instant warmth and beautiful, instinctive intensity." -Mike Ritchie, Celtic Music Radio
