February 13, 2013 The little band that could from Denton, Texas has been making a big splash nationally the last couple of years. The Eli Young Band received some great news this morning from the Academy of Country Music and will appear on Jay Leno tonight.
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.
December 23, 2012 As the year comes to a close, I always like to reflect on the year in music. This is a best of the best list, this is the 'cream that rose to the top'. Will names like Strait or Chesney make it on this list? I'm not wasting anymore time, let's count down the top 10 songs of 2012. Early on, the Eli Young Band put Music City and the world on notice, they were here to stay. These guys worked so hard that they deserve a spot in this years Top 10. The song that got them to my #9 spot is 'Even If It Breaks Your Heart.'
Even though they haven't opened Christmas presents or celebrated New Year's yet, the Eli Young Band guys already have big plans for 2013. Not only will the band set out to tour with Kenny Chesney next year, they also plan to make time for the studio.
The four members of Eli Young Band are helping get everyone in the Christmas spirit with the release of a new video of them singing a soulful, acoustic version of the holiday staple 'I'll Be Home for Christmas.'
Mike Eli of Eli Young Band finally feels at home. No, he's not kicking his feet up and putting an end to his country music career. He and his wife Kacey just brought their baby girl, Kline Olivia, home, and they finally feel their space is complete.
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.
In Hollywood, you sometimes have to take any job you can get. That seems to be the case for the robot used in Eli Young Band's new 'Say Goodnight' video. His unmistakable silver smile can be found during a script reading scene in the new Ben Affleck-directed thriller, 'Argo.'
November 8, 2012 The Eli Young band makes the video debut of their latest song 'Say Goodnight' on CMT tomorrow November 9th. This is a first for country music as the video is the first Sci-Fi country video ever.
While the power of the Vocal Duo of the Year category has waned in recent years, the Vocal Group of the Year pool at the 2012 CMA Awards is overflowing with talent. How tight is this category? Rascal Flatts weren't even nominated for what seems like the first time since mullets were en vogue. Who do you think will win the Vocal Group of the Year award at the CMAs?
Nominees for Song of the Year at the 2012 CMA Awards are similar to those for Single of the Year -- with two exceptions. SOTY is given to the songwriters, which are the singers of the song plus one or two co-writers in three cases this year. Each day leading up to the Nov. 1 ABC broadcast, we're explaining how each nominee can win the CMA Award, offering our prediction and looking for yours. Who do you predict to win the Song of the Year award at the 2012 CMAs?
October 22, 2012 The Eli Young Band has been very busy lately, first off they're making a run for the top spot at the charts again, CMA Awards nominees, touring live and being 'on call' to help the sick and injured. Recently the band visited a Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital to say thank you and to play for the injured men and women serving our country. Mike Eli says they were the 'Musicians On Call' (MOC), a non-profit organization that reaches out to our nations injured vets.
