The collaboration of husband and wife Pete and Crystal Damore\, their connection\, and their influences (such as Gillian Welch\, Guy Clark\, and Anais Mitchell) all meet on stage. "Two become one\, in song hand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery\," raves Gauthier. In 2017\, the pair won the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year\, on the strength of their breakthrough album Before I Go. Their follow-up\, Honest\, arrived two years later and was hailed by the Associated Press as "one of the best Americana albums of the year." The duo's latest\, simply titled Ordinary Elephant\, is a stripped-down affair offering the purest distillation of their sound yet\, showcasing the arresting power of their 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. The album is a work of profound self-assurance\, delivered by two artists whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of honest\, organic collaboration.
