Elim Hall was a progressive Canadian pop rock band that recorded two albums and toured North America as the opening act for Michael W. Smith in 1986. The group was composed of two brothers Glen and Ross Teeple and their cousins, Steve Marsh. They took their name from Elim Hall, a church built by their grandfathers. The band made two albums, which both came our on Reunion in the same year, though a custom version of Things Break, produced by Gary Chapman, had been available previously. The title track tot the latter album is a meditation on mortality; "Lets play "Science say' " is an indictiment against the idolatrous equation of scientific fact with truth. Steve Marsh and Glen Teeple would join One Hundred Days for one of the group's album, Feel Like Love. Marsh died of liver cance the day it was released.

  1. The photo for this article is likely from the green house (an old fire hall in Milton Ontario, organized by a guy named Sean dieters. He went on to organize two music festivals christened greenfest. This was one of the first times I saw them play (if not the first). Next time I brought back my brother and tony Rossi from Daniel band. We were all blown away! I booked them to play the one way in coffee house as much as I could. The awakening, (another band I loved to book for OWI) and elim hall ended up being one hundred days. One of my favourite memories was dancing up a storm with Riki Michelle from Adam again to elim hall at th side stage at the second cornerstone in grayslake Illinois. What brought me here was the memory of Steve marsh (who died MUCH too young) and what he might have accomplished and Neil Peart. Both are inspirations to find our vocations and achieve in them.
