Eric Church’s most recent critically acclaimed and chart-topping project, hisHeart & Soultriple album, is available everywhere now. Featuring the results of a marathon session during which he spent nearly a month writing and recording a song per day while sequestered in rural North Carolina, the trio features his latest Gold-certified No. 1 “Hell of a View” and recent Top 5 hit “Heart On Fire” as well as his latest single, “Doing Life With Me,” climbing the charts at Country radio now.
Just as unique as Church’s approach to recording and releasing music is his tenacity on the road. His latest outing, the 55-cityThe Gather Again Tour,offered fans an in-the-round show and earned theBillboardMusic Award for Top Country Tour. Church also performed one-of-a-kind headlining stadium shows at Milwaukee’s American Family Field and Minneapolis’s U.S. Bank Stadium in 2022 and took the field at Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium to perform the National Anthem with R&B star Jazmine Sullivan ahead of Super Bowl LV in 2021. During 2019’sDouble Down Tourhe played back-to-back nights of two unique shows in each market sans opening act, giving every city’s fans six-plus hours of his iconic music. The tour also featured a massive stop at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, where he broke the venue’s concert attendance record with more than 56,000 fans in attendance and became the first artist to sell out the venue with a solo lineup.
A seven-time ACM Award winner, four-time CMA Award winner (including the 2020 award for Entertainer of the Year) and 10-time GRAMMY nominee, Church has amassed a passionate fanbase around the globe known as the Church Choir as well as a critically acclaimed catalog of music. His previous project, the Gold-certifiedDesperate Man, earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album (his third nod in the category). Prior releases include the Platinum-certifiedSinners Like Me(“How ’Bout You,” “Guys Like Me”), Carolina(“Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most”) andMr. Misunderstood(“Record Year,” “Round Here Buzz”), the Double-Platinum certifiedThe Outsiders(“Like a Wrecking Ball,” “Talladega”) and the 3x Platinum-certifiedChief(“Springsteen,” “Drink In My Hand”),as well as 30 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certified singles.
