The Eli Young Band has been touring and performing for many years, but they still take advantage of the opportunity to learn from other artists whenever they play a show with other acts. Mike Eli says, “I love going out, especially in festival season, when there’s four and five bands playing in one day. We’d play our show and then we get to go and watch everybody else. I think no matter how much you like the music or how much you don’t like the music, I think there’s a lot to be learned from other entertainers.”
While Mike and the guys believe they are good at what they do, he also says, “I think we have a very humble attitude and we know that we can always be better.”
You can get Eli Young Band’s new single, “Turn It On,” on their new EP, also called Turn It On, wherever digital music is sold.
