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. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty, the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of honest, organic collaboration. Press play on Ordinary Elephant and you’ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of sincerity and commitment, of patience and gratitude, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment.

Daniel Miller is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for centering his music on locales that inspire him. “I tend to focus on an area or region that strikes me and write songs about that place. My focus isn’t on limiting a record to fit into a specific bin on a store shelf; it’s to tell a story. So while I’ve been labeled a Country, Americana, or Roots Music artist, I try not to let that influence or limit whatever project I’m working on at the moment.”

Born and raised in Knoxville, TN and currently living near Boston, MA, Daniel has been writing songs based off of his experiences on the road for the past twenty years. Daniel’s newest album, his first to be billed under the full band name Daniel Miller & The High Life, is based on his time spent in West Texas. Scheduled for release in April 2025, it will prominently feature his touring band along with some very special artists.

Daniel’s songs can be heard on numerous Country and Americana radio stations across the United States and internationally. He has opened for various national acts including: Jamey Johnson, Chris Knight, American Aquarium, The Old 97’s, The Mavericks, The Black Lillies, Scott Miller, Lukas Nelson & POTR, Sunny Sweeney, Mic Harrison, and Dick Dale; in some of America’s most beloved performance venues.
