The Elms are an American rock music band known for their breed of midwestern, rootsy rock, with the essence of the music of the 60's and 70's. Although the band has been in existence since 2000, 2001 saw the release of their first full-length album, with the first musical contribution from Thomas Daugherty on guitar. Thus, 2001 is widely considered The Elms' first fully functional year in existence. Some members reside in the southern Indiana city of Seymour, Indiana and the band is based there today.
The Elms released their major-label debut album, The Chess Hotel, on May 2, 2006. The album spawned the midwest radio hits "Nothin' To Do With Love" and "Black Peach." In April 2009, The Elms began recording their fourth album, and streamed the entire recording process via live video at their official website. The Elms' latest album, The Great American Midrange, was released on September 15, 2009 and is the band's fastest-selling album to date. It peaked at #18 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
