- **Event Name**: Ordinary Elephant w/ Geoffrey Louis Koch
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: —Nominated for 2025 Artist of the Year by Folk Alliance International—

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. 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, and 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 timeless, rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances 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. Press play on Ordinary Elephant and you’ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of sincerity and commitment, of patience and gratitude, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment.

The night will start off with special guest Geoffrey Louis Koch whose work has been described by critics as “one part sturdy anchor, one part stunning ache,” comparing him to artists like Bon Iver, Gregory Alan Isakov, Elliott Smith, Death Cab For Cutie, Wilco, and Counting Crows. Whether performing live or in the studio - Geoffrey’s music resonates with fans who seek authenticity, depth, honesty, and melody - songs that linger long after the final note fades.
