Eli Young Band

Touring artists like Eli Young Band know what it feels like to be away from home too often. But even with their jam-packed travel schedules, their time apart from family is nothing compared to the burden that our soldiers overseas face -- something they realize.

Eli Young Band's new single 'Drunk Last Night' is a subtle, but important, departure from songs on the 'Life at Best' album. The track shuffles along at a slightly faster tempo than 'Crazy Girl' or 'Even if It Breaks Your Heart,' but the chorus and production breathe new life into the band's sound.

After a great first run in Nashville last year, the Southern Ground Music and Food Festival will return to Music City September 27-28, 2013. Of course, Zac Brown Band will be back with a host of friends from country music and other genres to make this year's sensory experience even better.

Congratulations are in order for Eli Young Band's Jon Jones, who welcomed his first child -- a boy named Hudson Lennon Jones -- on Dec. 31 just outside of Fort Worth, Texas.

Eli Young Band's latest single, 'Say Goodnight,' is a pretty serious love ballad. The twangy tune is all about wanting to ignore your daily to-do list, draw the shades and spend some time with that special someone in your life. But EYB's 'Say Goodnight' video isn't quite as somber as the song suggests.

Soon, the Eli Young Band‘s tour bus will need an extra bunk — be it a tiny one. Bassist Jon Jones announced that his wife Sarah is expecting the couple’s first child, a baby boy, due on Dec. 23. That makes two babies in 2012 for the ACM Award-winning group, as singer Mike Eli welcomed his first baby in July.

Rascal Flatts arrived in Denver, Colo. and left fans with almost two hours worth of reminders about why they consistently sell out amphitheaters across America. With openers Edens Edge, Eli Young Band and Little Big Town, the trio’s Changed Tour was banjo and guitar-fused excitement from the very first beat of the kick drum. As you’ll see below, even NFL Hall of Famer John Elway enjoyed the show.

It’s hardly been a month since Mike Eli — frontman of the Eli Young Band — became a dad, but his life has already changed drastically. The new addition to the family has also given Eli’s bandmates a taste of what life with a child is all about.

Eli Young Band have notched back-to-back No. 1 hits, although it’s not clear how they’re doing it. Nothing about the band is conventional country music. Their new single ‘Say Goodnight’ is similarly moody and understated — almost emo-country, if such a genre exists. That could be the secret to their magic.

A baby girl has officially joined Eli Young Band‘s brood. Frontman Mike Eli and his wife, Kacey, welcomed Kline Olivia Diaz on Monday (July 30) in Dallas. The little girl, who is the first child for the couple, weighed in at 6 lbs. and 15 oz. She was expected to arrive in August.

Congratulations to Eli Young Band! The Texas foursome stopped Cody Canada and the Departed‘s winning streak in the Taste of Country Texas Red Dirt Rumble. ‘Even if It Breaks Your Heart’ will move on to face a new challenger this week, a song from another Texan with major label experience.

I've mentioned before that when I'm looking for ideas, I'll often delve into my vast and impressive collection of artist websites to help me get out of a writer's block. And that little bit of scrambling has paid off again! I came across this neat little video while lurking on the Eli Young Band site.
