Comments: Merry Christmas Elana, I caught your show at the Continental Club on Wednesday. Truly awesome seeing y'all again plus Jake as the guest bassist. I posted the video you requested onto YouTube. I thought it was a Django tune but done in the 1930s by someone named Farr according to Jake. There was a young foreign couple sitting next to me (probably from Singapore?). Spoke with them as you were about to bust out the Orange Blossom Special finale. Quote; "I've never seen or heard anything like this before!" I told them about Hot Club of Paris and the relationship with y'all. He was looking you up on his phone and bookmarking it. My wife Cindy wanted me to ask you how y'all settled on "Cowtown" as the town for Hot Club? Y'all met in NYC I thought? Will
Comments: We still remember Elana and her band after they appeared at the Shetland Folk Festival back in 2006. I just love Western Swing music and no one does it better than Elana! On top of the superb performances she gave us, her warm personality shone through. I’d like to wish you well in your career and I’m sure you will continue to bring joy to audiences around the world
Comments: How is it that i never heard your music before? I have been seriously listening to a variety of genres since about 1965. So I'm laying here checking out a new bluetooth speaker I got, streaming Spotify from my phone, and your Rendezvous in Rhythm shows up at the bottom of my screen so I read a little and am immediately intrigued. I click play, and ... WOW! I'm like totally blown away - totally! The sound is absolutely fabulous. I'm drawn into a mesmerizing trance, and then the sounds stop at the end of Douce Ambiance, and I'm jonesing for more. Bravo!!! Thank you.
Comments: Greetings! Just became aware of you, just a year ago. I'm 71, and you bring me back to my High School days when all of the jazz guys were hot on Blossom Dearie and everyone was tuned in. Never seen a young person sing and come close to her (Blossom Dearie) Deed I Do- Vibe. I guess I'm a new fan. Wish you would come to Mississippi (Oxford maybe) cause it's full of '"Cool & Trendies" like Austin City Limits. and it's only 25mi. away. OneAimOneGodOneDestiny R.Ellison.
Comments: Elena, we are SO happy Hot club is coming back to Stowe!!! I saw you at the church in Stowe last fall, gruene hall a few weeks earlier and Kansas City in 2021. If you have time to explore the area, let us Know! I have a dog, can suggest good dog walking spots! See you in August
Comments: hi elana (and with) I saw you 're touring in Belgium and holland, and I can't wait to see you live. maybe you could play a gig in Amsterdam 29 too. Also I m sure peeps in Gent, Brussels or Brugge would love it, there 's t'Ey and Centrale for your kind of music. I really love the vibe of hoc. Maybe in the future I can help you direct to places. Love. Good luck
Comments: Elana: I've been infected by your music for several months and will be attending your concert at Phoenix MIM on FEB 16-23. Do you bring CD's with you to sell or is on-line purchase a better avenue to get several items. I hope this performance is not just an Elvis tribute, but a real smorgasbord of your talent/voice/fiddle-playing. I'll love whatever music rolls off the stage. Milo Beck
Comments: I have no idea why I have never heard of you, but my husband had RFD-TV on and I saw you on Larry’s Country Diner. I too am a singer-jazz violinist! And a Suzuki violin teacher... and a animal/horse person... I raise Shetland ponies... I feel I’ve found a long lost little sister... my mother was also a professional musician AND ... Wait for it... I’m a Meadowmount alum.... 😳 Fun watching your technique... especially the colle chops! ❤️👍
Comments: CORRECTION: I entered the wrong date on my post below! The Georgia String Band Festival is >MARCH< 25th & 26th! 3/25-26!
Comments: Elana, noticed you and compadres are in Nashville 4/26/22, and wanted to make you aware of our Georgia String Band Festival, just down the road, that weekend. We honor our local pioneer recording stars The Georgia Yellow Hammers, Andrew and Jim Baxter and notably, The Nichols Brothers, whose "She's Killing Me" HCOC so brilliantly covered. Friday night kickoff, with some of our very best OT players bringing our real-roots American music to life, then The Gordon County Fiddlers' Convention (est. 1924) on Saturday, noon till, in historic downtown Calhoun, Georgia, halfway between Chattanooga and Atlanta, on I-75. Come immerse yourselves in even more great tuneage to cover! Lotsa fun. Here is my piece that describes our festival, and some of our rich history:"https://calhounmagazine-cnhi.newsmemory.com/" Also, our Facebook Page: "https://www.facebook.com/georgiastringbandfestival/" Y'all Come!
Comments: Elana, Are ye, HCCT, planning a Los Angeles date soon? I remember talking with you at your last appearance at McCabe’s. I attended all of your shows at McCabe’s and Boulevard Music. Dearest Lady, I do yearn for more…
Comments: Dear Elena and Hotclub, on Tuesday night my husband and I came to see you at the City Winery in Chicago, and we are so glad we did. It’s been so long since we’ve been anywhere fun. I have to say we had the best time and you all were better than ever!! I found myself just grinning from the happy music you play. Could have sat there all night.
Comments: I just learned the band was live on FB yesterday. Maybe next time...Glad to see you're keeping at it.
Comments: Hi Elana, My name is Kate and you played at my wedding in San Antonio in June of 2002. We are still married :) and I still hear about how great the band was at our wedding. I'm writing you because our 14 year daughter, who grew up listening to your music (Favorite = Ida Red), is now wanting to learn to Fiddle. She is a great little violin player already and is teaching herself to play fiddle tunes. Would you be willing to offer her some advice on getting started? Thanks so much and hope to catch a live show soon!
Comments: Can’t wait yo see you again elana and introduce you to my fiancé jane benson Jim vicevich formerly of WTIC radio. Now hosting a podcast called Radioviceonline. Get it ? Radio vice online. Lol We have one more music festival in mind to raise money for our new lupus treatment center. Hope we can book you.
Comments: I received my copy of Eva’s Road Diary the other day. What a hoot! Thanks for doing this. I’m looking forward to an online concert with the whole band. Is that possible? Have a paywall or even just an online tip jar. There are a lot of us out here who would gladly contribute! One more thing . . . I’ve been listening to my Jimmie Lunceford CDs lately, and it occurred to me that there are a number of his songs that would translate well to the HCCT style on the jazz side. Thanks for doing what you do, and stay safe!
Comments: I admire you and your groups work. Is there any possiblr way that your schedule would allow an appearance at The 50th Bob Wills days ? I know it would be fantastic. With love and respect Andrew
Comments: I happened to hear HCOC on Mountain Stage and was immediately intrigued. When my girlfriend Margaret asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I mentioned HCOC. Low and behold, on my birthday I received three CDs that came with a personal note from you thanking Margaret for her “support during this challenging time.” Heck, I want to thank you for your support! Dancing around the kitchen to your music may not make the pandemic go away, but it sure takes my mind off it for a little while. Thanks so much.
Comments: Love your music. Why aren't you viewable in https://austin.eventful.com/events. I can see a lot of performers in Austin, but you do not show up. Bandsintown, on the other hand [https://www.bandsintown.com/] tells me about your whereabouts and landings in the Austin area. I think eventful.com is better known.
Comments: Elana, great show as always at the Dakota, but in my ideal "Hot Club" world you'd be on your own as opposed to sharing the stage. Delighted you chose "My Dreams Are Getting Better..."as opposed to "Sentimental Journey" which everyone thinks of first in reference to Doris Day. I've got a vinyl interview with Les Brown, her band leader, who indicates she really wasn't keen on the tune, regarding it as "silly." Actually cried about it, but once it hit the charts her views changed. It followed soon after: Sentimental..." Looking forward to your return to the State of Hockey in 2020. Perhaps back at the State Fair? Roger
Comments: MORE MORE MORE SOLO ALBUMS,PLEASE ! What a seductive Billie Holliday-ish voice you have. As a previous classically trained violinist I probably appreciate your instrumental prowess more than most of your fans |
