Music Monday- Eric Church Edition





Congrats to Kiff for winning Edward!! HAHA we will have some fun with that soon!!! HAHAHA........ Anyways that another story!
Well I am back from a very long week with the Eric Church Band. Let's just say I have see all sides of the state of North Carolina following these boys. If you haven't gotten Eric's new CD Carolina, you are seriously missing out. It is completely different from his debut album "Sinners Like Me". It is so worth getting this CD. My all time favorite song has to be "Smoke A Little Smoke" which was written by Eric and his guitar players Jeff Hyde and Driver Williams. Two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I love these boys too death! As for my trip this past week, I started in Boone, Eric's Alma Mater, at the small bar called Legends. It was crazy with all the college kids, there was a good turnout for a Monday night. The boys rocked out like always. After the show, I headed home slept a couple hours and went to work. Day 2 of Church was in Winston Salem for the Tuesday CD release party. The crowd was a little more reserved this time around, they seriously could have pick things up a bit for the boys. I know the front row did!! After the show, I again headed home slept a few hours and got up for work. At this point, I have had maybe 8 hours of sleep the past two night. Wednesday after work I headed to the local Best Buy and bought Carolina. I was so proud of what I heard. All this time waiting and I was not disappointed with the result. I was blown away by the CD. The funky sound gives the CD a completely different feel from the first one. I have not taken it out yet. Seriously go out and buy the CD you will not be disappointed. Well after buying the CD, I headed to Kiff's place for a little Rock Band and ended up getting home around midnight. A few hours of sleep and off to work again. Here we go again, off to Raleigh for a Walmart signing and show at the The Lincoln Theater. The signing was quick, Eric sang two song acoustic and then started signing. I quickly told Eric I love the new CD and jetted off to the show. Got to the venue just before the big crowds came and luckily ended up second row. Let's just say the show was one of the most amazing I have seen so far and let's just say ;) I have been to quite a few over the last three years. The boys were just on that night. I hated for the show to be over. After the show, I hung out with friends and then headed home for a couple hours sleep. Got up late for work yikes! Headed out with all my gear for another day of Church. After work headed to Asheville, the show was good and the crowd was really into it. Every show in NC was sold out and filled to the brim with eager Eric Church Fans wanting an amazing show. Now I need to rest up for round two starting on the 14th. This lifestyle ain't killed me yet! I wouldn't miss this ride for anything!!! Check out this clip of my favorite song if you are interested!!


Til next time,
