Eli Young Band has been making music together for almost 20 years, and according to lead singer, Mike Eli, “I think we’re just now kind of hittin’ our stride and I think it’s one of those things why we’ve always felt like we’ve got a good thing, in that with every year that goes by and every show that goes by we feel as if we get better in some small way or some big way.”
Of course Eli Young Band would like to believe that they’re getting better and hitting their stride every year, but Mike says, “I think now more than ever, especially with our first number one in a while (“Love Ain’t”), we just kind of feel like an ‘a-ha’ moment.”
With a nod to EYB’s latest single, “Break It In,” Mike says, “We kind of feel like we’re just breakin’ this Eli Young Band thing in, without sounding too cheesy.”
Eli Young Band – we’re just hitting our stride :28
Mike Eli – “Yeah I think we’re just now kind of hittin’ our stride and I think it’s one of those things why we’ve always felt like we’ve got a good thing, in that with every year that goes by and every show that goes by we feel as if we get better in some small way or some big way. And I think maybe every year we’ve always kind of felt like we’re hittin’ our stride, but I think now more than ever, especially with our first number one in a while, we just kind of feel like an ‘a-ha’ moment. And we kind of feel like we’re just breakin’ this Eli Young Band thing in, without sounding too cheesy.”
