Come enjoy snug harmonies, stellar songwriting, and intertwined clawhammer banjo and guitar with Ordinary Elephant, International Folk Music Awards 2017 Artist of the Year--all while raising funds for local charities!

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.

Thanks to generous support from the foundation A Still, Small Voice, all proceeds from the concert support Las Cruces charities: Cruces Creatives, Border Servant Corps, Casa de Peregrinos, and Children's Reading Alliance.
