Ordinary Elephant - Glenbuchat Hall

Mesmerizing folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour that's earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier.

The bands new stripped-down, self-titled collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the arresting power of the couples gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless, rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances are similarly transportive, fuelled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin.
