Recently awarded the ACM New Solo Vocalist of the Year Award, Eric Church celebrated the chart-topping release of his third studio album, CHIEF, and will be taking the stage at NATIONWIDE ARENA on April 26 with opening acts, Brantley Gilbert and Blackberry Smoke. Nashville’s Eric Church catapulted into national success with the release of his debut country album, Sinners Like Me, which produced radio hits “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” and “Guys Like Me.” His follow-up, Carolina, went on to sell over 500,000 copies (certified Gold) and spawned top hits “Love Your Love The Most,” “Hell On The Heart,” and “Smoke A Little Smoke.” His third album, CHIEF, exceeded 145,000 in the first week largely due to Top 15 radio hit, “Homeboy.” The album received Gold certification merely 10 weeks after its release and received a spike of over 60% in sales following his performance of current Top 15 single, “Drink In My Hand,” on the CMA Awards.
