Elana,  I saw you at the Santa Fe brewing company and the plaza in Santa Fe.  I still can't stop smiling when I hear your music!  Love your style, and my wife Mona does too.  She now wishes she could have been there.  When you get to Washington DC we'll be there to enjoy your music.  Hope you manage to do a duet with Syd Masters as I thought your voices would be a perfect match. I'll check your site from time to time for all your updates.  God bless you and the best wishes for your future! ERIC

Elana,
You have officially become the "pin up girl" for the D8 Ranch in Amador County California. Us boys here simply adore you. Seem we can't get enough of you. Some of us have been talking about maybe hiring on to a ranch in Texas so we could see more of you. Please come back to Northern CA as often as you can. One of the boys was lucky enough to see you in Willows and he hasn't been the same since. Love struck we think.
Love,
Doc

Saw you perform in the barn at Prairie Pines in Wichita, Kansas.  You were awesome!  Bought your new CD - love it!  Very refreshing, beautiful music.  We have got to get you to the bluegrass festival in Winfield.  Did you really used to wrangle horses?  You are so versatile.

Hey, Elana,
Do you know the specifics of when you'll be playing in East Lansing at the Folk Festival? We have family in that area and may make the trip up from Ohio, but wondered what time of day to head over to Lansing. I checked the festival website not long ago and no schedule was posted.
Thanks! When ya comin back to Ohio???

Hello Elana,
Just a quick note to say what an excellent show W. Smith,
B. Sample and yourself put on in Rochester, June 29th at the
Pocket Park.  Having never seen you perform before I was
blown away by the music and that extra song you did from
Commander Cody's line-up (Smoke, Smoke...) was simply
outstanding!!  I sure hope that you come back to Rochester.
You made my weekend! Thank you.

Brian

We were at the American Music Festival At Fitzgerald's, too.  It was so nice to see you playing in the Chicago area again.  The only problem was that the one set schedule left me wanting so much more!

Of course, I love to see you playing with Hot Club, since I've been a big fan for years.  But I am very impressed with your solo album and your own compositions on the disc.  You never cease to impress me.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Old Town School in October.  It's an interesting venue...acoustically wonderful, very attentive audience--but is generally a "you can hear a pin drop" quiet during the performances. 

Thanks again for all the joy your music (as well as Whit's and Jake's) has brought into my life.  Almost without fail, your CDs bring a smile to my face--and that is quite a gift.

Jessica and I were returning to Austin from a bit of shopping this past Sunday afternoon and decided to finally stop into the River Bar & Grill we had passed too many times as we left Herbert's Taco Hut.  As we walked up to the door, there were quite a few people gathering in the lawn in front of the pavilion where a young lady with a fiddle, a young guy with a bass, and a guy with a guitar were warming up for a concert.  2 1/2 hrs later we had been completely entertained and had thoroughly enjoyed the music of a trio we would never have heard but for this meeting by chance.
Please do keep writing and playing and enjoying the opportunity to share your talent - all three of you.  Can't wait to pick up your recordings!

Hi Elana,
I was just searching on the net the orgin of my name and your site popped up. What a surprise as I didn't think there was another person with this name.

Do you know why your parents named you Elana? My parents found my name in a story book about a Indian Princess.

I would love to see you in concert someday. Are you ever coming to Jacksonville, FL?

Anyway enjoyed looking at your website and will try to get a CD of yours.

Best regards,
Elana Marie

Hi Elana,

We first saw you in Austin with the Hot Club of Cow Town at the Continental Club after learning about you on NPR.

We've been anxious to see you and the group again! Finally we did and the music was great! We plan to follow you where ever we can and bring along groups to introduce to your music.

I hope to get ya'll a spot at the Lantex in Llano, Texas!

Elana,
Congratulations on the new album! I'm so glad you've taken pen in hand to share your own material. You are as gifted a writer as you are a player.
And I can't thank you enough for putting the HC back together, even if it
is only for a short time. I have missed you & Whit and the music you made. Last but far from least, thank you for returning to Chicago!!
Love from the Windy City
Chas

Hi Elana,
We were fortunate to see your concert with The Continental Two on May 29, 2007 in Ridgefield, Ct and we enjoyed your musin so very much.  We are anxious to have you back sometime in the future.  At one point in the concert, one of your vocals and the guitar sound reminder us of Les Paul and Mary Ford, and wondered if you have ever considered adding one of their songs, perhaps How High The Moon, to your repertoire.

Thank you again for such an enjoyable evening.

Elana, Beau & Whit,

Can't say enough good things about the evening at the Wagon Shed in New Freedom. It was way hot and way intimate. I can't believe we chose to sit in the second row so we wouldn't be too close to the stage. We traveled nearly three hours to see you guys. Wagon Shed regulars that hadn't heard you previously thought we were a bit nuts until the show started. At the end of the evening, I asked the same folks if they would travel that far to see you again. It was a resounding YES. We have some new converts.

The previous times that we saw you play, it was as an opening act and you only had about half an hour. What a pleasure it was to get to enjoy two full one hour sets and a double encore. The potluck dinner and meet & greet during the break was too fun. I had to call my folks in NC to let them know that we had just met all three of you and that you were incredibly approachable. They were so jealous. I am FedExing their autographed CD today.

Anyway, that's enough babbling for now. Thanks to Art, Jeff & Amy for bringing you to their little neck of the woods. Thanks to all three of you for putting on a fantastic show. Can't wait until your travels again bring you & Eva to somewhere in the Mid Atlantic region. We will find you. Enjoy your much deserved few weeks off.

Thanks again,

Jim & Krista

I'm under your spell but, I'll never tell!

Saw you guys at The Towers, last night. A little too much waltzing going on for my taste but, you guys were awesome. I also caught you at The Narrows Center a couple of months ago.
Any time you are in New England, I'll be there! Thanks for the great music and our photo together
Bob

I saw you at LVD's in Goshen, Tuesday. What a great show!! You guys were even better than the last time you came through a couple of years ago!! I was so stoked, I added 8 tracks from your latest CD as well as 38 tracks from Hot Club to the playlist of my internet radio station (Ralphie's Radio). Give Eva a pat on the head for me. :-)

Howdy Elana,

I loved your show in Chicago the other night.  Every time I see you I'm more impressed.  The band sounded great...very tight.  The three of you really complement each other.  I'm running out of adjectives to describe you to my friends.  They'll have to come out and see for themselves.  I'm counting the days until your gigs here in July and October.  Great to meet Eva too.

I'd come to see you at the Brewing Company in July (I live in Santa Fe now), but I'll be out of town. Maybe next time.
