Eric Church has been all over the world. He’s played the biggest stages in music. He’s hosted the largest concert in North Carolina’s history. He’s one of three country artists ever to play multiple nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall. He packed three shows at Denver’s famed Red Rocks this summer. And through it all, his heart has never left North Carolina. (UNC.edu)
