International Folk Music Awards 2017 Artist of the Year Ordinary Elephant captivates audiences with their emotionally powerful and vulnerable songs, letting the listener know that they are not alone in this world. The collaboration of husband and wife Pete and Crystal Damore, their connection, and their influences (such as Gillian Welch, Guy Clark, Anais Mitchell) all meet on stage. Two become one, in songhand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery, says Mary Gauthier. The Associated Press is calling their latest album, Honest, one of the best Americana albums of the year.

Wisconsin-native John Statz has released eight studio albums and performed all over North America and Europe over the course of his thirteen-year career. The Boston Globe has called Johns music electric, urgent folk; aching, sweet country-rock while American Songwriter has said that he writes the kind of songs that float through your mind and stay nestled in your thoughts long after listening.
