Eli Young Band are back at No. 1 on both the Billboard and Mediabase / Country Aircheck Country Singles charts this week with their latest hit, 'Even if It Breaks Your Heart.' This marks the second consecutive chart-topper for the foursome following 'Crazy Girl.'
Dierks Bentley and Eli Young Band have been touring together pretty much non-stop for the past six weeks. And last week, newcomers the Cadillac Black joined in on the fun. So, what do you get when you put together a bunch of road-weary country stars? Cold brews backstage, according to this picture.
Will Hoge may not be country, but he's found a home there. The hit singer-songwriter penned Eli Young Band‘s single, ‘Even if It Breaks Your Heart’ -- which is a smash at country radio -- and he just wrapped up a run opening the Country and Cold Cans Tour with both EYB and headliner Dierks Bentley.
It's clear that Will Hoge is enjoying being out on the road with Dierks Bentley and Eli Young Band. The Nashville singer-songwriter is taking part in the Country and Cold Cans Tour with the country talents, dishing up a serving of unfamiliar face with a side of refreshing talent night after night.
This summer will be action-packed with all of the high-profile tours going on in country music. One of the most anticipated treks, however, is Rascal Flatts' American Band Tour, also featuring Eli Young Band, Little Big Town and Edens Edge.
Will Hoge isn't necessarily country, but his friends are. The Nashville native, who helped pen Eli Young Band's latest hit 'Even if It Breaks Your Heart,' is currently out on the Country and Cold Cans Tour with EYB and 'Home' hitmaker Dierks Bentley. There, it seems that Hoge has found sort of a 'home away from home' of his own.
Eli Young Band have literally seen their career catapult onto center stage in the past few months. After their single 'Crazy Girl' became their first No.1 hit, the four-man country outfit snagged an ACM Award for Song of the Year with the same smash hit, making an underdog story to be remembered. But even in the face of so many great things at once, the guys are not about to forget who it was that helped them get to this point.
The Eli Young Band may only be two singles deep into their current album, August 2011's 'Life at Best,' but the guys have already gotten the thinking wheels turning regarding their forthcoming third album.
Earlier this year, Eli Young Band guitarist James Young was the final member of the group to walk down the aisle and say "I do." Young wed his sweetie in an intimate outdoor ceremony on Feb. 4, with his fellow bandmates close by his side.
The Eli Young Band boys are riding a major wave of success as of late. After scoring their first No. 1 hit when single 'Crazy Girl' climbed to the top of the charts, the foursome started to see some forward momentum. And it doesn't sound like the band has plans to slow down any time soon.
