Eric Church has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday.

Eric told us, “I’m thankful for my family and great health. And I’m thankful for from a career standpoint, I’m very thankful for the success we’ve had lately. I’m thankful for what the fans have done. I mean there’s a lot of stuff to be thankful for in that regard."

"And I’m thankful that I was given the opportunity to do it my own way. I’m thankful that I’m going to get to keep doing this and do it the way that I want to do it.”

Eric just wrapped his Double Down Town and is taking some time for the holiday. He just learned last week that he is a multiple Grammy nominee including a Grammy nod in the Best Country Album category for his project Desperate Man.

His team posted to Instagram last week, "Eric has been nominated for best country album for Desperate Man and best country song for “Some Of It” at the 62nd @recordingacademy GRAMMY awards!"
