Eli Young Band

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.

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.'

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.'

It's been a long and understandably difficult week for Eli Young Band bassist Jon Jones, whose father died last week. Allen Edwin Jones passed away in Ft. Worth, Texas last Monday, Oct. 8, after losing a long battle with lung cancer.

Eli Young Band have officially begun shooting the music video for 'Say Goodnight,' the third single from the band's 'Life at Best' album -- and as drummer Chris Thompson reveals, the result will be unlike anything ever before seen on country music video channels.

We have begun a brand new month, with brand new music coming in every day! I am a huge Country Music fan, and the new music just fits so well with my tastes! Here are my 5 favorite new Country songs playing on the radio right now!

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.

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.

With the reveal of the 2012 CMA Awards nominees just days away, the Eli Young Band guys — like many country artists — are wondering if they will hear their name called in any categories. Having just celebrated their second chart-topping hit, ‘Even if It Breaks Your Heart,’ the band members joke that they will any nominations that come their way.

Eli Young Band spent their Monday afternoon celebrating their latest chart-topping hit, ‘Even if It Breaks Your Heart.’ The band, as well as the song’s two writers — Eric Paslay and Will Hoge — gathered at Nashville’s CMA headquarters to honor the song and all the key people who helped take it all the way to the top.

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.
