Comments: Hi Elana, I had a blast from the past driving home from work the other day in Norfolk, Virginia. The local public radio disc spinner was telling us about this new album by Elana James, formerly Elana Fremerman, and I thought to myself, "hmmm, that name sounds awfully familiar, could that be the Elana that I knew in college?" I didn't really know your music then, but I knew you were a musician. Then he played a song and I thought I recognized your voice. A few days later the same DJ played another song from the album and now I had a chance to look you up on line and lo-and-behold, it is you! Sounds like you are doing great! I'd love to have the chance to see you play. I'll keep an eye out for any VA gigs. I'm working my way through residency as an ear nose and throat surgeon and of course it has been a long and windy road since the Barnard days. Hope to run into you one day. Take care, Amalia
Comments: Dear Elana, I heard you for the first time on the Radio Free Wease broadcast from South By Southwest. I enjoyed your music very much, and it was especially fun to get to know you a little via the radio. Wease is a trip, isn't he? If you and your band make it to upstate NY in the summer, you might want to check out the Grassroots Festival held in Trumansburg. T'Burg is a small town just outside of Ithaca, and the festival is its claim to fame. Your music would be perfect, and I know you would develop an avid following in the Ithaca area. Perhaps if you come to Rochester.... Anyway best of luck, and I hope great things come from S By SW!
Comments: Elana,
Blown away by you and your music evertime I hear or see you. Enough of that! We have a great music fest every labor day weekend here in Charlestown, RI. It's called the Rhythm & Roots Festival. On a lark, as I see nothing scheduled for that time of year. Would ya? Could ya? I've seen you in Narragansett, RI at the Towers. Charlestwon is just the next town to the south. Check it out at www.rhythmandroots.com . We get a kick-ass line up every year, and you fit that bill! See you at the Narrows an 3/31.
Comments: Elana, My wife,friends and I saw you and the band @ Railroad Blues in Alpine a couple of Friday nights ago. We were the 4 crazies out on the picnic table with you and your dog before the show. We were all blown away! You are a remarkable musician. We enjoyed your music very much. Keep up the good work! Thanks again, Roger
Comments: Saw you and the trio last year and was blown away. Awesome! Then, just a few weeks later heard you on PHC. Thank you for doing what you do!
Comments: got a note from Elana mentioning appearances in Ohio and MI. Where and when?
Comments: Just dropped in to say HOWDY from Belton. Great to see y'all are back together! Hope to catch you when you are at Gruene or the Austin area. 'Till then keep it Hot, Drivin', & Swingin'!

Comments: GIRL! what ya doing? just popping in to say hi...I love your website! When are we gonna get to walk our dogs? SS
Comments: Like the new website ! Elana, when are you guys coming back to the UK again - we miss y'all !
Comments: Hello Hot Club! Going through some old pics the other day and ran across those I took the first time I ever met you. You were wearing my leather vest and on stage with Johnny Gimble and Freddy Powers. What a hoot. Then Max Booker and I got you hooked up with that biker gang out of Houston and from then it was one success after another. What a pleasure to know you Hope you have a gig near here soon. Cannot travel very far any more. Love, Froggy
Comments: Hi Elana, I've had the pleasure of seeing you in concert several times and finally met you at the last 2 ballpark shows in South and North Dakota, September of 2006. We chatted a bit on both days. Thank you for signing a copy of your CD for me. I treasure it. The first time I saw your band was at the very first Nelson/Dylan ballpark show in Cooperstown, NY. I dug your band and your sound straight-away. Then you toured briefly with Bob. I LOVED seeing you standing there with the guys more than holding your own. I still (at times) miss seeing that, but things must change. :-) I didn't realize until today you also played on the song Tell Ol' Bill. Cool! Congrats on ALL your achievements and may you have many, many more. I am sad to see Denver (where I currently reside) is not on your tour list. Maybe though that will change! What then is the title of your band's new CD? I want to find it! Until we meet again I wish you and yours peace and blessings. Please never stop bringing musical joy and happiness to the world. With love, April Melody
Comments: elana i am sure you new albumn is just as fantasic as the last one. it is too bad u are not coming to pa in your tour yet.
Comments: Elana !....your music I have LOVED ever since I first heard you play at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Who doesn't love Texas Swing? (don't want to know them.) Expertly executed and damn fun to listen to. You inspired me to listen to more of this genre, Bob Wills, Lyle Lovett.(i'm going to see him in concert next month, he's touring with John Hiatt), and of course, Asleep at the Wheel (awesome!). MUSIC what a GREAT hobby! I am an aspiring violinist and really appreciate the tabs and any music you provide on your website. Can't wait to buy your newest CD. Sounds like you are very happy in your new endeavors and I wish you all the best!!!!.......regards,sheila
Comments: Just saw you guys perform at the Austin Airport (of all places) and loved it! I'm really not a country fan, but my son loves Riders in the Sky and since then my appreciation for it has grown tremendously. As a musician myself, it's great to see a group of your caliber. Great musicianship and fun to listen too! We live in Santa Cruz, CA so we'll see you when you come in April. How great is that? Keep up the great work!
Comments: Hi Elana;
We used to go to listen to you at Threadgills in the 90s when you were with the Hot Club of Cowtown and we still enjoy those CDs. We followed your career and were so glad that you toured with Dylan. Every time we tried to see you in Austin in recent years, something intervened. But, finally, on January 20th at the Continental Club, we got to be there from pre-show tune up till the end of the show. One of the best musical events we have ever enjoyed. Your voice sounded more mellow and with greater range and how you shared the stage with Whit and Erik was something special. You treated everyone on stage and your audience like old friends. We had a blast and were glad to see the place so packed and so many people having such a good time. We wish you the very best and hope to attend more of your shows.
Comments: Your father came to see US today. What a nice man he is. I am a Lifelong Texan and Jean's home is in Missouri. We moved here a year ago from Tyler Texas. Your father says you really know western swing, our favor ate music. Stan in there, with your beauty you will go far. Dwight & Jean
Comments: Lana and Whit, Some of our fondest memories are when you came to the house to visit Hank! As you know we just cried and loved you guys playing so much. Nannie always kept your photo hanging in her room! We love you all so much. If you come back this way, please call us! Sending our love to the finest musicians in the business!
