After 20 years in the business, it’s safe to say Eli Young Band has a lot of fans who know a whole lot about them, so we asked lead singer, Mike Eli, if there was anything that might surprise fans to know after all these years, and he said, “Some of the fans get a little surprised to know that I am really into growing my own vegetables. My daughter and I, it’s kind of our thing. We have a huge garden, grow a lot of our own vegetables during the spring and the fall.”
Of course, Mike’s first passion and hobby is music, but he says gardening, “it’s kind of my hobby outside of my hobby. Petty lucky that my music hobby is my job, which a lot of people don’t have that opportunity to say that. So I guess the gardening thing. a lot of people would be surprised about that.”
For now, Mike has plenty of time to hang out at home and tend to his garden with his daughter, although he definitely misses being on stage performing EYB’s hits and their latest single, “Break It In,” for their fans.
