Groupe
Country US formé à Denton (Texas) et composé de Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones
et Chris Thompson
Fusing a
young man's take on heartland rock with the tougher side of Texas country music
and the cocky enthusiasm of alt-country firebrands, the Eli Young Band have
become a potent draw in the Southwest on the strength of local airplay and
extensive touring. The Eli Young Band's story began when Mike Eli
and James
Young both enrolled at the University of North Texas and found themselves
sharing a dorm room as freshmen. Both Eli
and Young
played guitar, and the two new friends starting writing and singing songs
together. As Eli &
Young, they began playing acoustic shows at local bars and coffeehouses, and
in time they expanded the band into a full electric quartet with the addition of
fellow students Jon Jones
on bass and Chris
Thompson on drums, streamlining the name into the Eli Young Band.
The group became a potent local draw, and in 2003 they opened a show for rising
star Miranda Lambert. Producer
Frank
Liddell saw the show and was impressed enough to offer the band a deal with
his independent label, Carnival Recording. The Eli Young Band's debut album,
Level,
appeared in 2005, and the songs "That's the Way" and "When It Rains" began
scoring significant airplay in the Lone Star State. The Eli Young Band's
enthusiastic live show helped them draw a large and loyal audience in the
Southwest, where they were able to fill 2,000 seat venues as a headliner, and
they toured the country as an opener for the likes of
Pat Green,
Cross
Canadian Ragweed, and
Jack
Ingram. In 2006, the group's live show was captured for posterity on the
concert recording Live
at the Jolly Fox, taped during a gig at a club in Huntsville, TX. The
Eli Young Band then landed a deal with the Universal-distributed Republic
Records; a video for a new recording of "When It Rains" subsequently received
extensive play on Country Music Television, and the group's first album for
Republic,
Jet Black & Jealous, was released September 2008, with "When It Rains"
and two other songs from the album, “Always the Love Songs" and “Radio Waves,“
becoming Top 40 hits. The follow-up album, Life at Best, delivered another hit,
the Liz Rose and Lee Brice-penned “Crazy Girl.”
