Now that there are several kids among the members of Eli Young Band, since they spend so much of their time on the road, they try to find opportunities to bring their families with them whenever possible. According to Jon Jones, “We try to pick dates that will be fun for them with something to go see or do. Because it is, it’s a pretty packed bus, and if there’s not something outside of the bus to go do, it gets pretty boring for them and we don’t want to bring them out just to selfishly be around our family. We want them to come out and it be a fun, positive experience for them.”
While some of their kids are in school now, which may limit their opportunities to join their dads on the road, Eli Young Band has plenty of dates lined up through the end of the year, as they promote their latest single, “Love Ain’t,” which will give their families plenty of opportunities to hop on board the bus and tag along.

Jon Jones – “We’ve had our families out. We try to pick dates that will be fun for them with something to go see or do. Because it is—it’s a pretty packed bus, and if there’s not something outside of the bus to go do, it gets pretty boring for them and we don’t want to bring them out just to selfishly be around our family. We want them to come out and it be a fun, positive experience for them.”
