Eric Church

Eric Church started his music career when he landed a deal with Capitol Nashville in 2005. He had released a total of six albums with them since his debut. His first album, Sinners Like Me, produced three singles on the billboard country charts, including How ‘Bout You and Guys Like Me. His first number one album was released in 2011 and gave him two number one singles. His fifth Album Mr. Understood produced two number one singles. One fun fact about Eric is that he had been wearing sunglasses on stage. The good reason for it is for him to prevent his contact lenses from drying on the harsh glares of the theatrical lighting. He recently began his tour titled Holdin’ My Own, so you can catch him singing all over the country.
