YORK CITY – The only thing predictable about Eric Church is that he is
unpredictable. He’s an artist that has built his career with tour stops
coast-to-coast, not with dozens of television performances around each
album cycle. When he takes to the stage, he damn-well makes sure it’s
special. With his current Holdin’ My Own Tour—a 62-city,
three-plus-hour marathon, featuring a double-set, full-band show sans
opener —currently underway, Church decided to do something different for
ABC’s Good Morning America and showcase his unique live solo
performance for the first time on national T.V. On August 18, he will
perform stripped down from 8 to 9 a.m. ET as part of their Summer
Concert Series in Iconic Central Park.

This
isn’t the first time that Church has rocked a crowd solo: at the end of
July in 2015 he opened Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater with two
sold-out acoustic shows; and when his band and crew fell ill before a
show in Salt Lake City back in January 2015, Church played acoustically
rather than cancelling. In August of 2016, he solo-performed at
Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater for two consecutive nights. Most
recently when a snow storm in Calgary threatened the weight of the
dome’s roof, he stripped back production and performed his marathon
three-hour set mostly solo.

Even in Church’s Holdin’ My Own Tour
stops that kicked off in January, each night he takes a few moments
throughout the night to play solo for fans. His tour has become the No. 1
most attended touring concert in the world thus far in 2017 according to Pollstar,
giving fans nights of more than 35 songs. Church has sold out all stops
to date including Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. The
tour will wrap with two at-capacity nights in Nashville, Tennessee May
26 & 27.
