Eric Church

Eric Church built his name on country music that leans harder into rock and roll than most of Nashville is willing to go, with songs like "Springsteen," "Drink in My Hand," and "Chief" turning him into one of the format's biggest headliners. He writes with an outlaw streak and plays long, loud sets that reward the fans who show up early and stay late.

He has upcoming shows on the books at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a venue that suits his sound about as well as any room in the country.
