   About Elsah
Elsah, fronted by songwriter Neil Werries, borrows its name from a river town in southern Illinois. Originally from St. Louis via a relocation to Baton Rouge, Elsah blurs the boundaries between old-time country and guitar-driven indie rock. They have had the pleasure of playing with such talented musicians as Okkervil River, Centro-matic, and Christian Gibbs as well as more roots-oriented artists such as Chuck Prophet, Bob Schneider, and Jimbo Mathus (of Squirrel Nut Zippers fame). Werries' vocals range from a howl to a whisper, backed by a twin-guitar assault and a watertight rhythm section. Often compared to bands such as Drive-By-Truckers or early Wilco, the band cites influences ranging from Lucinda Williams to Camper Van Beethoven. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Hey Elsah , thanks again for adding our page and support marijuana law reform in Joplin.

We have a favor to ask of you.

Please consider helping us collect signatures to make misdemeanor amounts of marijuana by adults a lower priority for Joplin police. We need 5,000 signatures to make the ballot, but in reality we need to collect more than 10,000 to ensure success. Please help today!

Email kelly@sensiblejoplin.org or call 417-291-0135
myspace.com/sensiblejoplin
www.SensibleJoplin.org
or message us on facebook

If you or anyone you know would like to help out in this important project, please let us know. This initiative's success depends on dedication by thoughtful citizen's such as yourself!

*This is a great opportunity to get involved with local politics.
*Support the democratic process.
*Take a direct stand against our unjust marijuana policies.
