          At one point, like all musicians, we were just another unknown band.  But all of you showed up, you dug the music, went to shows and told your friends and spread the word.  
           Because of YOU, were now taking a big step. We're signing with a major label. This is not a bad thing.  This is just another group of people that see and love what yall saw and loved first, and they, like you, are investing their time and money to help us spread the word even further.
           So were about to get a bunch of help from these folks at Universal, and we want all of you - who were there before all this to come along with us.  We appreciate you more than you will ever know.
           So for starters, for your loyalty and patience because we've all been waiting for the new music for the past 3 years, we want to get you some new music - before the new album is even out.  The new album will be released in September.  But for all of YOU, we want to give you 2 of those songs for free.  As soon as we finish the recordings, we'll send you another note telling you how to get these 2 new unreleased songs for free – 3 months before the album  comes out. Just a thank you for being into us and for your patience.  Check back in a month if you haven't heard from us.
           Also, FYI, wanted you to know that were putting a new, updated version of "When It Rains" on the new album (along with 10 totally new songs) because this songs are such a HUGE part of who we are we want the new fans to have easy access to it because they don't have easy access to buying our last CD, LEVEL.  
           Thank yall for getting into us.  We love you.  Hopefully you'll start to hear about us from your friends and relatives around the country, but that's a good thing.  And it's only happening because of what YOU all started.  We'll always keep you plugged in first, with as much info, bonus stuff, and freebies that we can throw at you – you ARE our home team.  We're excited and we're humbled.  Can't wait for you to hear the rest of the album in September!
  
Peace!!

4 kudos!! Well as you knoyw I have been following you, supporting you, loved you, been "into" you for several years now. I was the first with an I love Mike and EYB shirt, the first to bring my friends with posters to a concert, the first to make "You" a cd lol ( i was young) and I can't belive that this happening. You have worked so hard and have stuck together through everything, I am more than happy for you! I am also sad for the change cause I know you say it but ...don't forget us little guys during your journey. Ya'll are the BEST in my books as you know. My family and I have spread the word for years now and will continue. I can't wait for the release of the CD (finally) we have (like you said) been patiently waiting for. I hope you have another one in the works for the year after cause we already know how this new one rocks and can't wait for the one after that.


Basically, I could write a book, your plastered on my room door, your plastered on my binder, my myspace and in mymond and on my heart.
I only wish you the best as that is what you deserve!!!!

When you are up there accepting your first big award please remember me, Julia, from Plano, that has passed on your music and told everyone who would even listen for a moment how wonderful each of you are!! Thank you for the memories and many more to come!


I love you EYB--Mike Eli, James Young, Chris Thompson and Jon Jones!!!!!!! <3 Julia Lemin

Wow, this is wonderful news. I am so happy and proud for ya'll. A huge CONGRATS!!!! I have loved your sound and songs for years. It is always neat to hear of a band that started out locally and then does make it big, it gives hope for the hard work that other bands are doing everday and night out there. Looking forward to the new music and the downloads. Don't forget us, keep playing in our area, as always so we can get to see ya'll. I know, ya'll will stay REAL and humble.
Thanks for the great news EYB!!!!!

It is SO awesome to hear that you guys are signing with Universal Records!!!!! Even though you guys do not get any play in my homestate yet...Wisconsin....I have been a huge fan since I saw you guys play at Gilley's in Dallas in the summer of '06...I bought both records as soon as you got off the stage...I still have to say I think your sound is a country version of 3 Doors Down...which is awesome!

If you need me to call the radio stations here in Wisconsin nonstop once the new record is out I would be happy to...Also...just a thought...there is a festival in Milwaukee called "Summerfest"...its 11 days long, 11 stages, and over 700 bands play here...it's the world's largest music festival...The dates are June 26th - July 6th...I see you have some of these dates open...It may be possible to still get on this year's bill....If you need contact info for the Head of Productions to try to get on the bill I have his contact number...let me know if you want it.


Once again, CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats! I knew this was going to happen sooner rather than later. It is great for you guys, but means fewer shows at greater prices for the old fans.
Anyway, stay true to YOUR music and don't go "Pat Green" on us!
