Elephant Revival — Break in the Clouds
Family-style folk that's sure to please
Folk
Stephen Carradini
Remarkable consistency marks “Break in the Clouds” from Colorado-by-way-of-Tahlequah folksters Elephant Revival. Although the album is 14 songs long, there’s not a bad tune in the bunch.

Performing Arts
Mia Cantu
