ERIC CHURCH AT COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM
 

Nashville,
Tenn. – (Nov. 18, 2015) – The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
hosted an intimate reception of family, music industry friends, and
media VIPs last night to celebrate the opening of its latest cameo
exhibition, “Eric Church: Inside the Outsider.”  The exhibit features
stage clothing, song manuscripts, photos, awards, a hand-written note
from George Strait, and more memorabilia that was personally selected by
this year’s top CMA Awards nominee for the display.  “Eric Church:
Inside the Outsider” will run through February 2016 and is part of the
normal admission to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

During the reception, Church said, “I revere country music. I grew up a
fan in North Carolina. I remember a distinct memory when I was 23,
walking by the Country Music Hall of Fame just having a moment you know,
as a songwriter that had been told ‘no’ a bunch. If I had the chance,
had a time machine to go back and tell that guy what would happen over
the next 10-15 years (laughs)…neither one of us would believe it.  I
just walked through an exhibit that had my name all over it, and here’s
what I learned. It doesn’t matter how great your songs are, how great a
singer and player you are…I know this now, that it’s about the people
that are in this room. It’s about everybody from songwriters, it’s about
management, it’s about the band and crew that give it to ‘em every
night. It’s about my family, it’s about the people at our house. It’s
not about me, because it’s not possible for one person to make that
happen.”
