Ordinary Elephant got stuck on icy I-40! So Friday’s SANTA FE show has been moved to Sunday, Nov. 10 at 4PM. All tickets will be honored Sunday. If you would prefer a refund, please email ThirstyEarFest@gmail.com. So sorry for the inconvenience, but we hope to see you Sunday.
Folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour that’s earned married couple Crystal & Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier. In 2017, the pair took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their breakout album Before I Go. Two years later, they returned with the similarly lauded Honest, which the Associated Press hailed as “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” The band’s new stripped-down, self-titled collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the arresting power of the couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and theperformances are similarly transportive, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty, the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of honest, organic collaboration and reveling in the simple beauty of the moment.
