Grammy Award-Nominated Country Music Band
Eli Young Band Biography
The Eli Young Band is a country music group formed in 2000 in Denton, Texas, by Mike Eli (lead vocals, guitar), James Young (guitar), Jon Jones (bass guitar), and Chris Thompson (drums). The band began while the members were attending the University of North Texas, blending country roots with rock influences to create a distinctive, heartfelt sound. Over the years, they have become known for their energetic live performances and relatable storytelling that connects deeply with fans.
Their breakthrough came with the 2011 album Life at Best, which produced the multi-platinum, chart-topping hits “Crazy Girl” and “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” the latter of which earned them a Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. The band has since released several successful albums, including 10,000 Towns and Fingerprints, showcasing their evolution as songwriters and musicians while staying true to their Texas country origins.
Renowned for their authenticity and longevity in a constantly changing music landscape, the Eli Young Band continues to tour extensively, performing for devoted fans across the country. Their music—rooted in friendship, resilience, and a passion for storytelling—has solidified their place as one of country music’s most enduring and respected acts.
