Touring
Fremerman toured with
Bob Dylan in 2005, the first female to be included in his touring band in over 30 years (Fremerman came to Dylan's attention when
The Hot Club of Cowtown, Fremerman's band at the time, opened for him and
Willie Nelson during a joint tour of historic ballparks in the Summer of 2004). Changing her name to Elana James, she began performing in late 2005 with
Beau Sample (formerly of
Cave Catt Sammy) and
Luke Hill, first under the name
Elana James and Her Hot Hot Trio, and later as
Elana James and the Continental Two. It was announced that
Whit Smith would sit in with James and the Continental Two when they open for Bob Dylan for a series of shows in the Summer of 2006, again performing at historic ballparks.
By early 2008
The Hot Club of Cowtown had re-formed and was touring again.
