A one night only celebration.
Eric Church is set to perform a special concert at his Nashville bar Chief’s for SiriusXM next month, to mark the two-year anniversary of his Eric Church Outsiders Radio being a full time channel on the satellite network.
It will take place with his full band on Monday, September 30th on the stage of the Neon Steeple, as an homage to the early club and honky tonk shows Eric played that shaped his career.
It will be slightly different from the recent, solo shows he played on the Neon Steeple stage, as those were part of his To Beat the Devil residency and were fully acoustic… to see him in this small room with the full band will be an incredibly special and intimate concert, there’s no doubt about that.
Eric says he’s excited to celebrate the milestone with something like this:
“Just as the residency shows were completely their own, different than anything we bring to the stage on our tours, we’ve designed this concert to be its own unique experience.
Since Outsiders Radio started as a segment on SiriusXM’s The Highway nearly a decade ago, it’s been all about the music I’m a fan of and the artists who inspire me, and how that all informs our music – I’m excited to commemorate this milestone with a show for all us outsiders.”
The performance will air on Monday, September 30th at 10:00 pm ET on SiriusXM’s Eric Church Outsiders Radio, and will be available to stream on the SiriusXM app. Outsiders Radio will then takeover Y2Kountry and air the performance in its entirety on Friday, October 4th at 5:00 pm ET, Saturday, October 5th at 7:00 pm ET and Sunday, October 6th at 9:00 pm ET.
Tickets won’t be readily available to the public, but subscribers who live in the area and/or listen to relevant SiriusXM channels and are opted into marketing communications have a chance to win tickets and earn their entry by volunteering at local charities.
A select number of tickets will of course go to members of Church’s longtime fan club, the Church Choir, as well.
Not long ago, Eric sat down with CBS Mornings to talk about the bar and what it means to him at this point in his career:
