84. Ordinary Elephant
Welcome to season 4 of Middle Class Rock Star! It was nice having a break, but I'm excited to bring a bunch of new, wonderful guests to the show this season.\n\nThis first episode of the new season (84th overall) features Crystal and Pete Damore (Duh-more)of Ordinary Elephant. The Louisiana based husband and wife folk duo is a melting pot of their favorite influences(such as Gillian Welch, Guy Clark, and Anais Mitchell)yet have a sound that is completely their own. \n\nDuring our conversation, we discuss touring and life on the road, leaving the stability of a day job, and the folk scene around the US. We also chat about Pete's banjo style and dig in on Crystal's ability to write from unique perspectives. \n\n*Named International Folk Music Awards 2017 Artist of the Year.\n\n*Mary Gauthier says, \u201cTwo become one, in song...hand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery.\u201d\n\n*The Associated Press is calling their latest album, Honest, \u201cone of the best Americana albums of the year.\u201d\n\nIf you enjoy the podcast, please let others know, subscribe or write a review. 5 star ratings and reviews on Apple Music as well as subscribing to our YouTube Channel help us out the most!!\n\nIF YOU'D LIKE TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST IN A MONETARY WAY, I'M NOW ON PATREON! www.patreon.com/andysydow\n\nGuest Links:\nWebsite: www.ordinaryelephant.net\nPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/ordinaryelephant\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KDRZ2NwxT9UZ0RyG8gHFs\n\nGuest Music:\n"Honest" by: Ordinary Elephant\n"Before I Go" by: Ordinary Elephant\n\nEpisode Music:\n**All original music by Andy Sydow\n\nSponsors:\nA huge thanks to our sponsors, PQ Mastering and Narrator RF.\nFor any sponsorship inquiries, shoot me an email at middleclassrockstar@gmail.com\n\npqmastering.com\nnarratorrf.com
