Ordinary Elephant is a folk duo that quietly stops you in your tracks. For nearly a decade, married couple Crystal and Pete Damore have lived life on the road, earning widespread critical acclaim and the admiration of legends like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier.
In 2017, they were named International Folk Music Award – Artist of the Year for their breakout album Before I Go. Two years later, Honest followed, with the Associated Press calling it “one of the best Americana albums of the year.”
Their newest self-titled release is a beautifully stripped-down expression of everything Ordinary Elephant does best — luminous harmonies, intricate fretwork, and songs built on rich, character-driven storytelling. Banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin weave together in performances that feel intimate, transportive, and deeply human.
Though many of these songs were written during uncertain times, the music itself radiates calm confidence and grace. What you hear isn’t just a husband and wife making music — it’s the sound of trust, patience, gratitude, and the quiet power of true collaboration.
This is folk music at its most sincere — meant to be experienced up close, in a room that listens.
