The Eli Young band releases their second major-label album, 10,000 Towns.
According to the Associated Press, the band includes lead singer, Mike Eli, guitarist James Young, bassist Jon Jones, and drummer Chris Thompson.
The four piece band from Denton, Texas covers ground that many fans of country music are accustomed to.

In 2013, they were nominated for the Grammys in the Best Country Duo/ Group Performance for “Even if It Breaks Your Heart.” They were also nominated for Vocal Group of the Year in the CMA Awards. “Even if It Breaks Your Heart” was nominated for Best Country Song.
