Texas' Eli Young Band braves cold weather for The Rave performance

The Texas-conceived Eli Young Band felt very strange wide open to the harshe elements Milwaukee atmosphere on Thursday night, yet in the wake of putting on an extraordinary show at The Rave, I believe it's sheltered to state the gathering of people warmed them up a bit.

The band began with "Residue," an incredible method to start the show. This tune was the primary tune I purchased from this band on iTunes, so it was a decent flashback to how I turned into a fan. I enjoyed the visuals the band had on the screen behind them too. For "Fingerprints," the band had an image of the collection fine art, the unique finger impression, on screen, while for a significant number of their different tunes, they had recordings of vehicles driving down nation streets that appeared as though they could be a piece of authority music recordings – a cool impact.

For "Dependably the Love Songs," the vibe and the music conditioned down a great deal, giving a decent break from the peppy melodies. The gathering of people appeared to react well and correspondingly got into a chill state of mind. Discussing cool, the band at that point grumbled about how chilly it was in Wisconsin. We're sad, yet we can't take care of the chilly!

Lead artist Mark Eli told the group of onlookers that their music video, "Love Ain't," was the band's most mainstream music video, driving into the melody itself. At in excess of two million perspectives on YouTube up until this point, it's no big surprise it's so prominent: It recounts the romantic tale of a fourfold amputee officer who gets back home from Afghanistan and his sweetheart, who dropped everything to be close by through recuperation. The gathering of people adored the melody, with loads of individuals were chiming in to each word.

Before "Skin and Bones," Eli said his better half simply had an infant – yet he flippantly professed to do practically everything. Eli additionally said the guitarist, James Young, had an infant as well. (Eli did none of the work there.) Either way, "Skin and Bones" was an incredible tune to oblige that individual goody, ideal for influencing to the smooth paced music and enjoying each expression of this well known tune.

Eli declared this was the gathering's twentieth year of music making, despite the fact that in the start of their years together as a band, they were simply "messing around." The band at that point moved into "Radio Waves," a tune they said they hadn't performed in quite a while however was asked for by somebody. Discharged in 2009, the tune may have been before numerous crowd individuals' time as a fan, procuring a curbed reaction, however at any rate Young had an extraordinary time sticking out on his guitar.

Eli repeated that Milwaukee was excessively chilly, bringing up that the shoreline was dormant. At that point the band sang "Saltwater Gospel," which by a wide margin one of the group of onlookers' top choices. We're sad Milwaukee doesn't have a functioning shoreline around this season – and we unquestionably don't have saltwater – yet the tune was as yet incredible.

The recordings went hallucinogenic and bizarre for "Smashed Last Night," speaking to the contemplations that may experience an alcoholic personality, flying through pictures of Native Americans, individuals in jumpsuits and shades, gongs and different pictures flashed over the screen in odd hues and low goals. In any case, the group of onlookers wasn't staged; we were all as yet chiming in and applauding before the finish of the tune.

Proceeding onward, the blend of spreads by the Beatles and Genesis appeared to be strange. I didn't go to a nation show to hear exemplary shake, however it positively was inventive to pound up those two tunes – and the group of onlookers appeared to appreciate the two melodies, and in addition the reprise of "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World. The group of onlookers got advertised, chiming in and clench hand siphoning. The spreads flaunted the band's abilities and adaptability, yet I wished they had sang some a greater amount of their unique work, for example, "God Love the Rain" and "Never Again." Not just are those two tunes some incredible tunes, yet in addition they're a portion of the band's fresher stuff from their most up to date collection, "Fingerprints."

I was extremely glad to hear "Regardless of whether It Breaks Your Heart" as the band's last tune before the reprise and "Insane Girl" as its first reprise tune – the two works of art by that band. Be that as it may, again they could've finished the show on something unique instead of a front of another person's tune.

Hear Eli Young Band And Andy Grammer's 'Honey, I'm Good' Country Remix

Country quartet teams aligned with the pop star to rebuild their feel-good summer hit

Andy Grammer hit, "Honey, I'm fine," may be about remaining faithful to his wife while he's on tour, but the pop composer is more than willing to play the field when it comes to experimenting with genres. Why Eli Young Band recruited to add some accent Quick-Step Texas and voice tinged by a country version of the song for their second release, magazines or novels.

 

Key Exchange guitar harmonies and increase to a higher level, the song works surprisingly well as a modern country tune - something that could very well slide in next to Jake Owen of "Real Life" or Frankie Ballard of "Sun and whiskey "Nashville where the influence comes through over a foot stomping melody fused with pop hooks and suitable for both honky-Tonks and fraternity houses. Known for its easily digestible, hymns everyday-dude for the flip-flops over wingtips, Grammer is not the first of its kind to look for a country duo action: In 2013, Hunter Hayes showed sugar Jason Mraz, voices sing-talk "Everyone has one but me."

If this is an indication of a more pop direction of Eli Young Band in the factory sixth studio album - or simply a recreational activity - it remains to be seen, but there is definitely a sense of experimentation in his new EP, Turn It On, released in March. Although the quartet based in Texas love the art of making a full-length LP, recording this collection of four songs was a unique way to test the waters, and give fans exactly what they want: the new music, immediately.

"Are we the kind of guys who enjoy reading notes because we appreciate these things? Yes, we love it," said Mike Eli Rolling Stone Country. "But there comes a point where you realize that the fans want the music right away. And that's what fun to do an EP. is We have to put music to a month and a half after actually recorded. We have not been in this situation since we were a regional band with no label. "

To be fair, Eli Young Band version is not the first country cover "Honey, I'm good" in existence - a Canadian singer named Eric Ethridge let out a bluegrass-infused take on YouTube in April. No word on whether Grammer was inspired by it, but in any case, they stayed away from the dueling violins.

Eli Young Band Warm Up Country Jam Crowd With Drinking, Love + Cover Songs

Who's tired? Nor the thousands of fans who were, sang, danced and clapped during Sunday night Eli Young Band (June 21), created in the Country Jam 2015. The sun was still, but the temperature had dropped only a little earlier in the day when he flirted with three digits. The four-man band took the stage and quickly got fans pumped with "Drink You Up", "Revelations" and "10000 Peoples".

 

"This is the time when we are all proof," said vocalist Mike Eli. "If you do not know the lyrics to this next song, you've been living under a rock." The boys then played a popular tapa, David Lee Murphy "Dust on the Bottle" before singing his own "Dust." Another cover towards the end of their set included Tom Petty "Learning to fly" and Garth Brooks "The Thunder Rolls ".

Of course, the band also became the title track of his new EP, Turn It On, followed by "Always love songs." "I feel like I'm sitting around a campfire in Texas," Eli admitted. Numerous small American flags waving in the air during the "Prayer for the Road", which is dedicated to "those of you out there who have served their country." American Pride floated through the air on the last day of Country Jam.

"Tomorrow morning some of you wake up with a headache ... I pray that you can think of us and smiled," Eli encouraged. The crowd cheered as "drunk last night" began to fill with Grand Junction. "Your place or mine" soon followed.

Before "Even if your heart is broken," the Texan leader told a quick story about his father, as it was Father's Day. "I remember the time I first saw Garth Brooks. I told my parents, 'That's what I want to do,'" Eli said. "My father said, 'Wow, I've been working three jobs in the past 10 years so we could go to college if you do not go to college, I'll kick your a-.'".

"Happy Father's Day!" Joked the singer. "I went to college, and all met and started a band. We were terrible students, but we were there ... This is for all dreamers out there."

Eli Young Band played just before headliner closed Toby Keith Country Jam 2015. "I want to thank Toby Keith, his band, and his crew for putting our butts drunk!" Eli said. "They have seen our madness. Now we would like to see his madness." The group wrapped his show with an exaggerated performance of "Crazy Girl".

Eli Young Band Ignite Firefighter Love

"Prayer" Song Gets Approval of Families of Heroes

it’s not like the Eli Young Band set out to write a song about the firefighters who die in the line of duty. But again, watch Chicago Fire, so at least have some notion of the dangers these heroes face every day.



When I saw the new bonus video the band made for "Prayer for the Road", a song from their album than 10,000 people, the message is much, much deeper.

I already loved the way I love all country songs about the life of a musician tired of the road. Maybe more, however, because this is intoxicating voice and lyrics by Mike Eli on the note to his wife left in your suitcase:

"May the angels fly by your side, for every mile roll / that heaven hears this prayer, prayer for the road."

But then the video takes up a few notches emo introducing a firefighter who watches his wife crying for him as he is dying. (Once you realize what is happening, which is similar to Carrie Underwood "Just a Dream").

And that's how I know its moving firefighters World: Hundreds of people have to answer in the media. Too many families of firefighters to tell, but this handful of comments shows that a new group of Eli Young Band fans out there:

"Love love this song being a mom to two firefighters, wow, great job on this, bless ya'll! My Sarah joined Jesus in February 16, 2012 at 23, she would have loved this song because he loved be a firefighter, and my oldest remains a fireman. "

"I am a firefighter and this song hits home. I showed it to my wife and had her in tears. I think that's what I was looking for, mission accomplished."

"The husband of my sister went to heaven a year ago this week. Scott, Tanksley was an incredible firefighter, husband, father, brother and friend."

"The video is awesome and the tears are flowing. This really hits home! God bless our lifeguards and bring them home safely."

"This woman firefighter also loved!! Song amazing!"

"As the wife of a firefighter, the song and the video comes home. Cried the whole video. Beautiful song!"

"I love this. My husband and I are firefighter EMT and this definitely hits home. Love you. Thank you all."

The Eli Young Band launch Turn It On, a new four-song EP on March 10.
