Ordinary Elephant in concert at Sundilla

The award-winning Ordinary Elephant make their Sundilla debut on Thursday, June 28; showtime at the AUUF is 7:30. Advance tickets cost just $12 and are available at Spicers Music, Blooming Colors, and online at sundillamusic.com; admission at the door will be $15. Free coffee, tea, water and food will be available, and attendees are invited to bring whatever food or beverage they prefer.

The eagle-eyed might notice that this concert has been moved up on the schedule. When Ordinary Elephant was named Artist of the Year by Folk Alliance International, new doors opened and new opportunities were presented. One of those was in conflict with the original Sundilla date, and rather than postpone the concert we decided to make it happen sooner rather than later or never at all.

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, and Darrell Scott) all meet on stage. You see it, hear it, and then you find yourself truly feeling it. As genuine as it gets says Lloyd Maines.

Before being named Artist of the Year at the 2018 International Folk Music Awards, Ordinary Elephant 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 the year. Crystal and Pete Damore have been performing together since 2011, when they called Texas home. 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.
