Dub's Memories With Eric Church

I had the chance to hang with Eric for a few minutes before one of his shows in Columbia.

These are some of my memories with Eric Church. The chief is celebrating a birthday today, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to relive some of these moments. I've been a huge fan of Eric Church since the first time I heard his debut album "Sinners Like Me" back in 2006. I've had the chance to see Eric in concert several times.

The first time I saw Eric live was in early 2007. He was opening for Dierks Bentley up at Clemson. As far as the first time I saw him here in the CSRA, it was at Guitar Pull 2007. It was his first and only Guitar Pull appearance. Thats not the only time Eric Church has played here however. Eric played at The Country Club several times and he also headlined A Day In The Country as well.

Of course, being the Eric Church fan that I am, I've gone to see him other places as well. I've seen The Chief in Atlanta several times, and it Columbia SC as well. If you ever get the chance to see Eric live, don't pass it up! He puts on an incredible show. He's an artist that literally puts everything he has into his live show.

I think thats whats made him such a big star. His music is awesome and so is his live show. I think my favorite Eric album will alway be "Sinners Like Me" and "Chief" is a close second. Of course none of his albums are bad. If you want to hear more Eric Church music and keep up with his tour and more, just click here.

Yeah, you can tell this one is old. Look how young we both are. This was taken in the Kicks studio before Eric performed at The Country Club that night.

As you can see, Eric Church has been in the Kicks99 studio many times. This was before another one of his shows at The Country Club.
