Established in 2000, Eli Young Band quickly built a grassroots following, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2002. Their second album, Level, arrived on Carnival Records in 2005, followed by Jet Black & Jealous in 2008 via Universal South Records, which yielded their first chart singles ‘When It Rains’ and ‘Always the Love Songs.’ The band’s career trajectory soared after signing with Republic Nashville in 2011, culminating in their first platinum-selling digital single and No. 1 hit, ‘Crazy Girl,’ which was also named Billboard Year-End’s top country song of 2011. This achievement earned Eli Young Band the coveted Song of the Year award at the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards.
They have shared stages with notable artists including Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, and Jason Aldean, and made appearances on national television shows such as ‘TODAY,’ ‘Conan,’ and ‘Late Show with David Letterman.’ Their latest album, Love Talking, was released in 2022, underscoring their continued commitment to crafting authentic country music and engaging a devoted fanbase.
