(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- The ACM award winning Eli Young Band will light up the stage at Tropicana Atlantic City on Saturday, December 3, 2016. The popular country group is comprised of four musicians who met during their college days in Texas: lead singer Mike Eli, drummer Chris Thompson, guitarist James Young and bass player Jon Jones.
The band has spent more than a decade touring without a single lineup change. That dedication is paying off big-time as the band enjoys a crazy new level of success. They sell a crazy amount of tickets. Get a crazy amount of airplay. And are selling a crazy amount of downloads. EYB celebrated its first Gold single for the aptly named “Crazy Girl,” which took the award for song of the year at the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards.
After years of paying dues and gaining experience, the Eli Young Band is at the top of their game. While they started playing in tiny clubs, they’ve graduated to packing out theatres and mid-size venues as a headliner. Their road dog reputation helped them to earn an opening slot playing stadiums on the Kenny Chesney tour. All those miles on the road and visits to 10,000 towns coalesce to make their new album the band’s strongest effort yet.
On 10,000 Towns, the Eli Young Band delivers a diverse collection of songs that explores the complexities of relationships such as the bluesy cheating song “Revelations” and the heartbreaking “What Does,” a poignant examination of a failed relationship. Yet there are several tunes that just revel in the simple pleasures that bring joy to the journey, among them “Just Add Moonlight” and “Let’s Do Something Tonight.” “A Prayer for the Road” is a tender tribute to the love of their families and the prayerful support that goes with them every mile.
Show time is 8 p.m. Saturday, December 3, 2016. Doors open 7 p.m. Tickets are $25, $30, $35, and $40 and are available through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com or via phone at 1.800.736.1420, or at the Tropicana Box Office.
Tropicana Atlantic City is a 24-hour gaming destination located on the beach and Boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ.
