Career and education
editElmore formed Sarge in the Chicago area in 1996, and the band broke up in 1999.[1][2] The Chicago Tribune wrote that Elmore "was in total command" of performing with Sarge.[3] The Tallahassee Democrat wrote that her song-writing helped keep Sarge "a cut above the usual indie offerings."[4]
Elmore had a short solo stint, during which she recorded a self-titled split EP with Bob Nanna of Braid featuring her song "You Blink."
In 2001, Elmore would form The Reputation, a band she played with until 2006. In 2002, The Reputation released a self-titled album.[5]
Elmore is also a lawyer, having received a J.D. degree from Northwestern University.[6] She enrolled in law school around 1999, which is one of the reasons Sarge disbanded.[7] Elmore was admitted to the Illinois Bar around 2004.[8]
