Mike Eli of Eli Young Band is the father to a six year old daughter, Kline, and a five-and-a-half-month old son, Kash, and even though Kash is still so young, Mike says, “I’m pretty sure that he and I are going to have a very complicated relationship because I’m pretty sure he’s a hothead and he’s a hothead probably like me. So I think that we’re going to have a pretty complicated relationship.”
While it will be a while before Mike and his son can do things like play ball or go fishing, he jokes, “We’re doing a lot of bonding over dirty diapers. But I will say that he is more keen to chillin’ out with me than he is with anyone else. Most of the time with everyone else he wants you to get up and walk him around the house and do things. But for some reason with daddy he’s more apt to chillin on the couch and watching TV, which it’s kind of an odd thing that like, I’m pretty much kind of the only one that he’ll really do that with.”
Mike Eli will have a little while longer to chill with his son at home before Eli Young Band gets back to work promoting their latest single, “Love Ain’t,” and kicking off their 2019 touring schedule on January 25th.

Mike Eli – “I was actually just telling my mother-in-law, like I’m pretty sure that he and I are going to have a very complicated relationship because I’m pretty sure he’s a hothead and he’s a hothead probably like me. So I think that we’re going to have a pretty complicated relationship. But you know being that he’s only five months old we’re doing a lot of bonding over dirty diapers. But I will say that he is more keen to chillin’ out with me than he is with anyone else. Most of the time with everyone else he wants you to get up and walk him around the house and do things. But for some reason with daddy he’s more apt to chillin on the couch and watching TV, which it’s kind of an odd thing that like, I’m pretty much kind of the only one that he’ll really do that with.”
