Elana James


Great week of music with Elana James. First Cafe Nine in New Haven. The owner is just a great host and really welcomed the Sound Off Audience. The place was packed. Elana appeared with Whit but Beau has moved on and was replaced by Elana's long time base player Jake who really kicked. She sang all her familiar standards and a few new ones.

Then last night at Club Helsinki in Great Barrington, MA. This place is a real treasure and clubs like this one are disappearing all across the country and we can't let that happen. Please make a point of catching some music there.
I have uploaded some pictures of the event ... and I took this video with my Sony still camera. Not great ... but then remember ... low light and it is primarily a still camera. Enjoy.
