NEW SINGLE: “Love Talking”
CLICK HERE FOR “LOVE TALKING” TOOLKIT
The Eli Young Band has been together for over 20 years, and when they think back to those guys who all met in college, they can’t help but think of all the ways they’ve grown and changed throughout their career. When bassist Jon Jones thinks about some of the biggest changes, he says, “Shoot, just looking at our time in the studio, I think we’ve grown as musicians by leaps and bounds, and just the comfort factor there.”
Before they signed their record deal, whenever they would record music, it was usually with a small group of friends or family around them who were unconditionally positive and supportive. Their debut album was the first time they experienced being in a real recording studio, Jon says, “with people critiquing everything, and not just the small group of people we’re used to.”
It was a little intimidating, but now, Jon says, “I think we’re just a lot more comfortable in our own skin as musicians, but also just in who we are as a band, and I think that comes through in our music.”
It does indeed, like in Eli Young Band’s new single, “Love Talking.”
Eli Young Band – growth since first album :25
Jon Jones – ““Shoot, just looking at our time in the studio, I think we’ve grown as musicians by leaps and bounds, and just the comfort factor there. Especially going from debut album being the first time recording in a real studio with people critiquing everything, and not just the small group of people we’re used to. But I think we’re just a lot more comfortable in our own skin as musicians, but also just in who we are as a band, and I think that comes through in our music.”
