Comments: Amazing show last night! If you come back to the Cincinnati area, I will bring a ton of people and it shall be a wonderful dance party! I won my ticket to the show by correctly answering the trivia question asked by a D.J. on a local radio station. I lucked out and guessed the location of Cowtown. I should have played the lottery yesterday, for what a show! I just wanted to express my thanks for a fantastic night!!! Hope to see you again soon!
Comments: I'm Rick in Florida and I heard your band a coule of weks ago on The Bill Mack Show. You guys are certainly a breath of fresh air to the music industry, in particularly to Country Music. Wishing you much success and hoping you get around to N.E. Florida some time.
Comments: hi elana.. just caught you at hill country for the first time. WOW. what a great sound. the band is terrific. i noticed you studied with marty laster. i've known marty for many years. he filled in occasionally in my bluegrass band. hope to see u on your next trip to new york.
Comments: Your music is beautiful. I heard Down the Line on Radio Paradise, and I stopped what I was doing. It was love-at-first listen. I am hoping to cover two of your songs in clubs over here in Korea. Down the Line and I Don't Mind. However, the violinist in my group can't just fiddle by ear. Before imploring her to reverse-engineer the score from the mp3, I thought I'd ask you first: Did you by any chance happen to have scored out your violin parts for those songs? If so, I would love to buy copies from you. You're probably quite busy and not really into special requests. I totally get it if you disregard this. However, if you do have it to send, after a few months, I'll send you back a YouTube of us covering the songs here in Jeonju, South Korea. Happy New Year! dvm
Comments: Saw your performance Wednesday at Continental club. You, Mark O'Connor and Josh Goforth are the best I've ever seen outside of classical violin. Outstanding. Best OBS I've ever heard. My wife and I will try to attend more of your concerts. Ed
Comments: Hi Elana, Saw you play as a guest fiddler with the Erik Hokkanen's Laboratory Band on Tuesday night (12/28/2010) at Flipnotics Austin while we were in town for Christmas vacation while visiting with our Austin kids -- WOW, we were blown away by the awesome fiddle breaks and subtle bursts of pefectly-placed accompanyment from your finger tips and bow... what an artist you are...so strong and confident...!!! We so much enjoyed the show with you in it. I couldn't help but express our thanks to you and guest fiddler Warren before we left for making an already great show even hotter ... it was a pleasure to make your brief acquaintance after the show.

Comments: Just saw you at Swallow Hill in Denver. Couldn't help thinking that during your versions of "'Deed I Do", and "Someone to Watch Over Me" that your vocal phrasing and voice reminded me a bit of Blossom Dearie. I got home and checked out your website to find Blossom listed in your 'links' page. I think she is one of the most under-appreciated jazz vocalists so I'm glad to know that there is a bit of her in you. I also thought that your treatment of the Waits song "Long Road Home" was magnificent. I've been a fan of Waits since 1975, and have only heard one cover that I liked...and that was about two hours ago! Covering Waits is risky business, so kudos to you for not only having the courage, but for pulling it off ! Hopefully your version will turn up on a future recording. You and the gents were great, I am a new fan! Thanks for the great vibes (and the autographs)! Blaine
Comments: Hi, My family and I just saw you at the Lowell Folk Festival (twice). We really enjoyed your music and I am now a fan! My young daughters both play violin and I was glad they got a chance to see you and enjoy your music. I'm now listening to "Wishful Thinking" and "Continental Stomp" and telling my friends how great you are. Regards -Gyepi
Comments: I was so sorry to miss you all this year in tha UK. MY girlfriend (Astrid) and I have been addicted to the music of Cowtown for a few years now. You are quite simply the best live band that I know. We couldn't get away this year but we love you. You may remember us as the freaky stalkers from truckfest and larma tree. All the best to Whit and Jake (and Brigitte!). Also, please give Bob Dylan a wedgie if you see him.
Comments: Elana...I can't wait to see you again soon...What you have is truly unique and special...You're absolutely beautiful !!! -Alex
Comments: Hi Elana - I saw you recently at the Magnolia Texas Opry - gave you the picutre of Buddy Ferguson. I live in College Station and go back with you follks to the days of the Blue Ribbon Bakery there, I just wanted to say again how much I enjoy your music. I am a good enough musician to know what incredible players you folks are. My best to all in Hot Club.

Comments: 28 Feb. 2010 Really enjoyed your show at the Paramount Theater,in Abilene,TX, last night. It was terrific. I found your 1998,1999 and 2000 CD's in my collection and am enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon listening to them. Thanks again for your music.
Comments: Hi Elana, Whit and James, Just saw you in Glasgow. Didn't know you before but we fell completely in love with your playing and singing and energy and sheer musical presence. You are a fabulous lot. We were there with our children and you filled them with inspiration that will last them a lifetime. a million thanks, will look forward to your next visit. P.S. your rendition of Wait's Long Way Home was great great great.
Comments: Elana, It's hard to convey just how much of a blessing and inspiration listening to guys at Cain's the other night was!!! I bought some of your discs and among them was an instructional vid of Whit's. I have played guitar for the last half century but I've never been able to really understand all of the transitional chords until watching the video once through. I stand in awe with your phrasing and beautiful harmony. You're not a hard woman to look at either!!! Come back soon!!
Comments: Please come to the village in NYC and see us! How about the Red Lion or Banjo Jim's or Kenny's Castaways? Ask Bob he'll know  Kbird
Comments: Where have I been all your life! Discovered Elana literally four hours ago! Now we're planning a road trip to TX.
Comments: I saw you in Utah at the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in the vendor area. I only heard a couple of songs and bought your cd. It's my absolute favorite. You guys are amazing. I hope to see you in concert some day. Inspiring! |
