Led by an unmistakable vocal and bringing a Texas-rock edge to modern country for 25 years, the Eli Young Band's never-changing lineup of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones, and Chris Thompson have spent decades on the run, growing from hometown heroes into globe-trotting, chart-topping pioneers... And now, they're coming home.
Founded in Denton, Texas, and rising to become arena-packing icons of the state's independent country scene, EYB's 2005 album Level launched the band into the mainstream, followed by three career Billboard Top 5 albums including the Number One 10,000 Towns and Platinum Life At Best. Boasting back-to-back Number One singles with the 5X Platinum "Crazy Girl" in 2011 and 3X Platinum "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" (2012), plus the Platinum Number One "Drunk Last Night," 2X Platinum Number One "Love Ain't" and more, the band's unbroken streak of success has now led to a millions-strong fandom, and after keeping the intensity of their live shows front and center, it's time to get back to the point.
Ready to follow up 2022's Love Talking, the band have returned to the Denton studio where Level was born - bringing new tunes and new excitement along with them. Also returning to their independent roots, a fresh batch of co-written songs match the raw, grassroots energy and emotional sting of their early work, geared for the stage and recorded without digital tricks. Released September 27, "Home In Hometown" starts the new era and marks EYB's creative homecoming - a true-to-experience ballad of life on the highway, unpacking what "home" really means. Driven by experience and a million miles of wisdom, look for more new music of course more shows, from a band of brothers still very much in their prime.
