As Tom Paxton says, below, the elephant in the room is not at all ordinary. It is actually the duo of Pete and Crystal Damore: one guitar, one banjo, two voices, an old-time vibe with modern lyrics. The Associated Press called their latest album “one of the best Americana albums of the year,” and the duo received the International Folk Music 2017 Artist of the Year Award.

“There is nothing at all ordinary with this elephant. They are smack dab in the tradition that I have always loved but have both (all four?) feet in the 21st Century. This is rich ground. Listen!” –Tom Paxton

“I’m a big fan . . . intimate songs, weaving harmonies, and stories that draw you in as if you were gathered around an enchanted campfire.” –Eliza Gilkyson
