Doors open at 7 p.m. for this 18+ event. The Eli Young Band got its start as the acoustic duo Eli & Young, when Mike Eli and James Young began making music together while they attended the University of North Texas. They added Chris Thompson and Jon Jones to the group and became the Eli Young Band, releasing their debut, self-titled album in 2002. They released their sophomore album, “Level,” in 2005 but found mainstream success in 2009 following the release of their album, “Jet Black and Jealous,” which contains the hit singles, “Crazy Girl,” “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” and “Drunk Last Night.” The album reached the No. 5 spot on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and that same year the received an Academy of Country Music Award nomination. They have released two more albums and an EP since then, and this summer, they released their new album’s first single, “Saltwater Gospel.”
