Elephant Revival is a folk music group from Nederland, CO formed in 2006. The band consists of Bonnie Paine (vocals/washboard/djembe/musical saw), Sage Cook (electric banjo/guitar/acoustic guitar/mandolin/viola/vocals), Dango Rose (double-bass/mandolin/banjo/vocals), Daniel Rodriguez (acoustic guitar/electric banjo/guitar/vocals) and Bridget Law (fiddle/vocals). The band members originate from many parts of the country but have roots in both Colorado and Oklahoma. Several members of the band began playing together in the summer of 2006 in various group combinations in Oklahoma and Colorado. The first show where all five members played together was in Colorado in October 2006 at the Gold Hill Inn, performing as Elephant Revival Concept. After solidifying the group, "Concept" was soon dropped from the name. They label their music "transcendental folk," which incorporates elements of Scottish/Celtic fiddle tunes, original folk pieces, traditional ballads, bluegrass, psychedelic country, indie rock, reggae, 40s/50s jazz standards and an occasional hip-hop beat. All members of the band are multi-instrumentalists and contribute vocals and to songwriting. Individually and collectively the band members have performed with or opened for Bela Fleck, John Paul Jones, Michael Franti, Little Feat, Yonder Mountain String Band, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Leftover Salmon, Railroad Earth, State Radio, String Cheese Incident, and others. This is "I'm Free" which has yet to be released on an album of theirs.
