Staying creative and nurturing a music community is part of life on the road for Crystal and Pete Damore of Ordinary Elephant. This is their second appearance on the podcast, which was a great opportunity to talk about their recent Kickstarter campaign, their new album Honest, and more.
In addition to finding out what they’ve been up to since our last talk, I also discuss the following with Crystal and Pete.
“Even if it doesn’t always feel like we’re writing [a great song], it keeps those mental muscles going. It keeps you in a habit.” – Pete Damore
“The mentality of you have to be busy to be productive – it’s not true.” – Crystal Damore
“As long as you keep learning, that’s a good way to fight becoming stagnant.” – Pete Damore
“Your email list is the only sure way that you know you’ll reach people.” – Crystal Damore
Episode 59 – Life and Songwriting on the Road–Crystal & Pete Damore
