Int'l Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year, Ordinary Elephant, debuts at Flying Cat Music

Posted

Nomadic husband and wife Americana/folk duo Ordinary Elephant will play Flying Cat Music, at the Empire State Railway Museum (ESRM) in support of their latest studio album release 'Before I Go.' The ESRM is located at 70 Lower High Street in Phoenicia. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and music begins at 7:30. Admission is $17 or $15 with reservations. For information or reservations (strongly recommended), email flyingcatmusic@gmail.com or call 845-688-9453.

Ordinary Elephant captivates listeners with their well-honed combination of insightful writing, effortless harmonies and intertwined clawhammer banjo and guitar. The collaboration of husband and wife, their connection, and their influences (such as Gillian Welch, Guy Clark, Anais Mitchell) all meet on stage. You see it, hear it, and then you find yourself truly feeling it. “As genuine as it gets” says legendary producer Lloyd Maines.

Ordinary Elephant was named Artist of the Year at the 2018 International Folk Music Awards, and their 2017 release ‘Before I Go’ was No. 7 on the Folk DJ Chart for the year. Falcon Ridge Folk Festival attendees were able to catch them the past two years. Crystal and Pete Damore have been performing together since 2011, when they called Houston, Texas home, but the two became nomads in 2014, and continue to live on the road full-time with their dogs, while creating and sharing the conversation of their music.

Tickets available at the door, $17. For more information visit www.ordinaryelephant.net or call (845) 688-9453.
