ERIC CHURCH RESOLVES TICKET STAMPEDE WITH ADDITION OF SECOND SHOW
Second rare solo performance in Nashville added due to overwhelming demand from fans
Tickets to Ascend Amphitheater Nashville show set for Friday, July 31 to go on sale Thursday, May 7 at 10 a.m. CT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Friday, May 1, 2015) – NPR has time-after-time praised Eric Church declaring his music “transcends the genre,” New York Magazine’s
deemed him “not just the most consistent male country star of his
generation but one of the brightest lights in any genre,” and SPIN Magazine praised him “the most exciting, sonically fearless singer in Nashville,” but Nashville? Right now they just call for MORE!
After announcing a rare solo performance opening Nashville’s new Ascend
Amphitheater show one week ago for Thursday, July 30, ticket on-sales
this week swiftly sold out in less than five minutes – too quick,
actually, for many of the 7-time GRAMMY nominee’s own Church Choir to
secure seats.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t listen to my fans, and this
time they spoke up loud and clear,” shares Church. “I am keeping with
the tradition of The Outsiders Tour in that no show will be the same, but I am adding a second night to ensure we can get all our friends in for this performance.”
Ascend Amphitheater has added a second night, Friday, July 31, 2015,
with tickets going on sale to general public Thursday, May 7 at 10:00
a.m. CT. General admission pit and reserved seating is priced at $85 and
general admission lawn seats are $45. For tickets, please visit Ticketmaster.com.
The CMA and four-time ACM Award winner finished 2014 as country music’s
top-selling artist, with the year’s highest debut and sales of any
release in the format as the critical and commercial success The Outsiders reached Platinum status, marking more than one million albums sold. Debuting at No. 1 on both the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and Top Country Albums chart, The Outsiders
garnered GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Top Album nominations and features his
No.1 hits “Give Me Back My Hometown” and “Talladega” as well as his
current single “Like A Wrecking Ball.” The Outsiders is the follow-up to Church’s Platinum-certified Chief,
(named the 2012 Album of the Year by both CMA and ACM, and
GRAMMY-nominated for Best Country Album) which featured five Top 20
singles: “Homeboy” (certified Platinum for sales in excess of one
million singles); the Top 10 “Like Jesus Does” and the Top 5 “Creepin’”
(both certified Gold for sales in excess of 500,000 singles each); and
two No. 1 hits “Drink in My Hand” (certified Platinum) and “Springsteen”
(certified Double Platinum for sales in excess of two million singles).
Church’s 2006 debut album, Sinners Like Me (2006) and his sophomore album Carolina (2009) are both RIAA Gold-certified. Carolina
had three hit singles: the Top 10 “Hell on the Heart” as well as Top 20
hit “Smoke A Little Smoke” and Top 10 smash “Love Your Love The Most,”
which were both certified Gold. Sinners Like Me spawned three Top 20 singles: “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” and “Guys Like Me.”
