Ordinary Elephant (Louisiana) w/ The Singer & The Songwriter

Ordinary Elephant
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 song…hand-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.”


“There is nothing at all ordinary with this elephant. They are smack dab in the tradition that I have always loved but have both (all four?) feet in the 21st Century. This is rich ground. Listen!” — Tom Paxton “Two become one, in song…hand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery. Songs are pouring out of them, and I suspect their rise will be steady.” — Mary Gauthier “I’m a big fan…intimate songs, weaving harmonies, and stories that draw you in as if you were gathered around an enchanted campfire.” — Eliza Gilkyson

The Singer & The Songwriter
Rachel Garcia and Thu Tran create music as vibrant and diverse as their multiracial backgrounds. Rachel’s rich, nuanced vocal delivery and Thu’s dynamic guitar arrangements provide the backbone for the duo’s eclectic and heartfelt songs that tell emotionally honest and compelling stories.Their identities as queer mixed-race-Mexican-American and first-generation-Vietnamese-American (respectively) subtly inform the inclusionary, modernist perspective of their lyrics, which provide “smart commentary on social attitudes” (Pasadena Weekly), while their music and melodies cut across decades of classic American song forms, bending and blending genres to produce a unique sound with a fresh, clever and distinct approach to the classic traditions of American jazz, folk and blues.https://www.thesingerandthesongwriter.com/

Loud as Folk: The Sam Chase + Clementine Darling

Hosted by Spike McGuire

Loud As Folk (every 2nd Thursday at The Lost Church Santa Rosa) is a hub of the west coast songwriting scene focused on highlighting emerging artists with distinct approaches to all genres of American roots music. In the process of bringing these acts together for performances, a beautiful community naturally formed with artists and audience members alike. Now LAF is a global network of songwriters who collaborate, tour, and record in ever changing combinations. The organization is based in Reno, NV and operated by founder Spike McGuire and VP Greg Gilmore. Their dedication remains to preserving the craft of songwriting, whether it’s through your stereo or from the stage.https://loudasfolk.com

The Sam Chase is a natural storyteller with a voice that sounds as if it has weathered many an epic tale. With boot stomping orchestration and lyrics that have been immortalized on the tattooed skin of his fans, The Sam Chase doesn’t mess around. Catch him with a fury like never before – hot off the heel’s of his European tour and playing his first show back in the states with a fresh batch of tales to tell. http://www.thesamchase.com


Clementine Darling’s onstage debut coincided with her participation in a songwriting workshop with nationally recognized producer Sam Hollander, in which she and Hollander shaped one of her original songs, “Choose Love,” into a strong acoustic number in the tradition of alt-folk heroines like Ani DiFranco and Cat Power. “Choose Love” wound up being the first track on Darling’s debut EP… — NORTH BAY BOHEMIAN https://www.clementinedarlingmusic.com

Jeremy Ferrara (Portland) and Daniel Steinbock 

Jeremy Ferrara

What good is a song if it doesn’t make you feel something? Jeremy Ferrara knows this, and refuses to waste a minute of your time. His good nature and innate tenderness is inescapable, and anyone within earshot of his quavering voice and quiet guitar is likely to swoon in sympathetic reaction. He’s a folksinger, and a song-diviner. His music is as fun as it is finely detailed. His latest album Everything I Hold is exemplary of this style. Produced by Mike Coykendall, the LP features just Jeremy, his guitar, and voice, on eight songs that fill the listener with wonder, empathy, and joy. https://jeremyferraramusic.com/

Daniel Steinbock

Daniel Steinbock was born and raised on the California coast north of the Golden Gate, the only child of a sailor and a librarian. A singer-songwriter in the sublime lyrical tradition of Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) and Neil Young, pre-apocalyptic love songs and spare folk poems fill his song book with a rare spiritual nakedness.

Steinbock’s 2019 debut album, ‘Out of Blue,’ was described as “uncontrollably honest and surreal” by No Depression, Journal of Roots Music, and features fellow troubadours John Craigie, Rainbow Girls, and Ayla Nereo. https://www.danielsteinbock.com

Our Current Safety Protocols


From Your Everlovin’ Editor

Heya!

TLC SF by the numbers….

Our original theater was at 65 Capp Street and had a capacity of 65 people.

By an interesting twist of fate our new North Beach theater is at 990 Columbus Avenue and will be 99 seats.

It’s all falling into place just as it should!

TLC Santa Rosa is in fine form this month and leading the charge in this new era of our long time mission to create, sustain, and defend spaces for live performance and the communities they serve.

We love having more chances to get together.

Love,

Michele & The Lost Church
