Comments: We both saw Hot Club at the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival. WOW!!! We purchased your sample CD and have not stopped listening to it. Maybe next year you all will be there again. Best of everything to you. Thanks for letting us get acquainted with you and and your music. Chuck & Cindy Learn Redlands, CA
Comments: Hope you enjoyed the chocolates and sweets after the Acoustic Music San Diego show and they got you to Santa Clarita OK. More in the fall!! Maria v. Muenchen
Comments: Hi Elana, we caught your show again in Gruene on the 12th and it was wonderful. You are the most talented, charming and attractive musician I’ve ever seen. Hope to see you in San Marcos or Greenville soon, if we can. We’re looking forward to your next new album. Good luck and God bless, Greg & Risa Swager
Comments: Sorry, I ment "Been" a fan. Mark
Comments: Benn a fan since Hot Club. I think your an incredible artist and enjoy your music very much. Looking forward to seeing your new line up. Thanks Mark
Comments: Tim - Dearborn, MI You are wonderful! Your song "All the World and I" is the most stunningly beautiful song I have heard in a long time. It is an instant classic. At first I thought it was an old standard, but it looks like you wrote it...Absolutely amazing. All of the solo collection is quite good and good for you for bringing Johnny Gimble along...but that track #5...can't get over it. I first saw you playing on Main St. in Ann Arbor, MI just outside of the Ark where Hot Club would be playing that night. I bought your Hot Club CD right away. I play the fiddle and enjoy your style and your wonderful voice very, very much. Thank you for writing and perfectly performing "All The World and I" You are going to be a much bigger star than you already are. I hope all is well with you and your family. Tim
Comments: Saw all your shows at the Blue Mountains Folk/Blues Festival. Absolutely dynamic and inspiring. I was foolish enough to only buy your self titled cd after your first performance. The other recent cd you had sold out and is not on your discography list. How can I get it? Can't wait to see you again in this part of the world.
Comments: Saw the show last night at the Vanguard in Sydney, Aust. Was all I expected and more, hope you three don't take too long to visit this way again. Fantastic!!
Comments: Wow ... you guys are just awesome. Just saw you at the Blue Mountains twice and in the front room at the Clarendon on Friday night. Your band just oozes fun and goodtimes. Thanks for signing your CD Elana. I will wear it out pretty quick at the rate it is getting played. You guys were top billing for me at the festival. My foot wont stop tapping. Have fun
Comments: Just seen you at the blue mountains blues festival in Australia and fell in love with both you and your music.What a beautiful voice,what a fantastic violinist ,what a persona.If only life was as sweet and lovely as you!
Comments: Watched you and your band twice at the Folk Blues & Roots Festival in the Blue Mountains, Australia, after being inspired at the swing guitar workshop with Whit Smith & Jake Erwin. You guys were my festival highlight by far. Will be getting all the albums very soon!! Would like to see a bio on Jake Erwin - felt he gets a little left out for someone so talented.
Comments: Elena, I have just seen 2 of your wonderful performances at the Port Fairy Folk Festival. You have introduced me to a new genre of music, and after to listening to your CD over and over it's well and truly under my skin. Please come back down under as soon as you possibly can!!
Comments: Elana, We saw your show in Syracuse on 1-17-08. I'v been a HC of CT fan for a long time! The CD we got @ that Syr. show is becoming one of my alltime fav, CDs. Keep up the Great work,& hurry back to Syracuse! Dave & Lynn
Comments: Saw you at the Camp Street Cafe in Crockett, TX 0n Friday Feb. 15 and your show was Fantastic! We drove from Missouri to catch your show.
Comments: Just saw your show in Austin and would love to see you on the east coast! Please book a show in NYC (or maybe even Washington, DC).We had so much fun and hope to hear your music again very soon.
Comments: I just received your CD, as reccomended by Terry Teachout on his blog and it is simply wonderful. It took awhile until I received it since I currently live in Israel. How about planning a trip over here - I am sure you would be a hit. Keep it up. Can't wait to listen again.
Comments: Elana, Great show at Camp Street Friday night. I'm enjoying your CD. Hope you come this way again soon. Robert
Comments: Elana, The show at Hondo's in Fredericksburg,Texas, Friday night was great! I really admire your fiddle playing and am especially impressed with your ability to improvise. Hope to see you again soon.
Comments: Hello Elana; Congratulations on the fantastic performance last night at the Continental Club in Austin. We have now been there for two Thursday happy hours in a row and had a great time. Your rendition of Orange Blossom Special last night would be a very hard act for any fiddler to follow. Your voice sounded fuller and more melodic and, at one point, you even threw in a growl. We enjoy your fiddle playing, singing, stage presence and the way you connect with your audience during the show and during the breaks too. We have two of your posters, your new CD and several of the older Hot Club Of Cowtown CDs too. Whit Smith was superb last night too and the bass work by Jake Erwin - wow - how does he get so much sound out of a bass? We've been fans since around 1997 when you played with Hot Club Of Cowtown at Threadgills and have been impressed with the transitions, evolution of the sounds and the adventures of your and Whit Smith's bands over the years. We noted that your listing for last night's performance was again as Hot Club Of Cowtown. We got to talk with you and with Whit and we hope to keep on enjoying your vocal duets as well as your instrumental duets. What a great band! Adios, Steve and Marcia
Comments: Hi Elana, Whit and Jake It was great seeing you at The Narrows in Fall River, MA recently! It's been a while since I've had the pleasure! Elana, you are awesome. Whit, congrats on your marriage. Jake, I LOVE your hair. You all bring joy to my heart. Joyce from RI
Comments: Dear Elana, I attended the show in Syracuse, NY the other night. And I am listening to the cd on saturday morning as I unwind and shift.. This is my first exposure to your music and I am pleased and smiling!!! Just can't resist telling you... your dress was spectacular...You have an artistic presentation as well as a musical one that is quite stunning. Anyway...I was hoping to get the poster and t shirt from the show on line and don't see it there...Any ideas? Gratitude, Gratitude and Love, Kathleen
Comments: Elana, You might remember when I contacted you a few years ago for Vernon Derrick, a long-time friend of mine and a great admirer of you and Hot Club. Vernon played fiddle for several years with Hank Williams, Jr., Hank III, Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Jimmy Martin and others. I passed your address and phone number on to him. Don't know if he ever found time to contact you. Vernon was a great loss to many music lovers and the friends and family who knew him best. I'm sorry to say that Vernon passed away on 1/4/2008. I have enclosed a copy of the obituary in the local paper. http://www.thearabtribune.com/articles/2008/01/10/obituaries/obit4.txt Sincerely, Johnny Wheeler
Comments: Great show last night in Syracuse. I enjoyed it both as a musician and as a fan. Several years ago I played a gig as a back up musician for a Fiddler's Contest. By the end of the day, in the hot sun, I grew to hate "Orange Blossom Special". However, your version last night blew me away. Please come back again.
Comments: I am just listening Folk Alley radio where Elana and the band performing live. Wonderful, swinging music. Kiitos!
Comments: Thank you for playing Cafe 9 in New Haven last night. What a great show!!! Unfortnetly Beau was not there, but her other bass player was outstanding! Great energy... full of expression... very personable. Can't wait to hear that show again. Furthermore, thank you for the one on one. All the best, Melissa |
