ERIC CHURCH SET TO EMBARK ON
“THE YOUNG & WILD(ER)” TOUR
FOLLOWS RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE OF CHURCH’S SPRING TOUR
“He can drop a punch line with the deftness of Brad Paisley (“Before She Does”), inspire a bit of hell-raising a la Waylon and Willie at their outlaw finest (“Smoke a Little Smoke”) and fan the fires of romance as well as any of the heartthrobs dominating the country charts (“Love Your Love the Most”).”—Los Angeles Times
Country singer Eric Church is set to embark on “The Young & Wild(er) Tour,” a series of East Coast and Midwest dates, beginning September 3 inWilmington , DE . The tour features performances at the House of Blues in Cleveland , two nights at Joe’s in Chicago and the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee , among others, and follows Church’s performance at Lollapalooza, which earned praise from Rolling Stone, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times. Church’s “Young & Wild Tour” this past spring included 20 sold out shows, record-breaking attendance at the Dallas Bull in Tampa , FL and performances on NBC’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” and CBS’ “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” The tour earned widespread critical acclaim including theWashington Post, which praised Church’s “thundering rhythms” and “raucous rock instrumentation.” Please see below for details about “The Young & Wild(er) Tour.”
Of what makes the tour “Wild(er),” Church says, “We brought it on ‘The Young & Wild Tour’ and the crowds met our energy step for step. You were awesome. Now it’s time to crank it up a little more and see if you guys can hang.” Supporting Church on the road is the Eric Church Band, which is rounded out by Driver Williams (guitar), Ed Smoak (guitar), Jeff Hyde (banjo/mandolin), Lee Hendricks (bass) and Craig Wright (drums).
“The Young & Wild(er) Tour” arrives on the heels of Church’s critically acclaimed sophomore release, Carolina . Debuting at #17 on Billboard’s Top 200 and#4 on the country charts, the album earned acclaim from Rolling Stone, which praised the “surging guitars bolstering good-ol’-boy narratives,” and the New York Times, which declared, “His music puts rock muscle behind honky-tonk and turns ballads into intimate close-ups.”
