I-2 Eric Church




Eric Church, also known as Kenneth Eric Church, is a country singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He does not simply limit himself to country music. He clashes and molds with southern rock. Growing up in North Carolina, he began singing at the age of thirteen. Around the same time, he taught himself how to play guitar. He dabbled in music all throughout his high school career, but did not get serious with it until graduation. During college, he formed a little band with friends. Nothing ever really took off though. During college, he got his degree for marketing. After graduating, he moved to Nashville Tennessee to chase after a career in country music. It took him a year, but he did end up getting a record deal to Sony/ATV tree. Church's first single was titled "How About You". It was released in early 2006, and my mid 2006, it had reached billboards top twenty country hits. The next thing that Church released was his fist full length album. The album was titled "Sinners Like Me". The album was released in July of 2006. It was a massive success for Church. It soared up the charts and was well received by almost everyone who heard it. After Church released "Sinners Like Me", he released "Carolina" in 2009. This album was also a massive hit. An lastly, church released the album "Chief" in 2011. I would get more into depth with each album, but it is hard. I am not personally a huge country fan. Church is definitely the best of any popular country musician out, but all of the songs are still quite repetitive. Of course their was soul and you could feel the passion in the music, but it is essentially all the same. So, if you do plan on listening to some sort of country music, I would recommend to start with Eric Church.
