NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum’s exhibition “Eric Church: Country Heart, Restless Soul,” presented by Gibson, is nearing its end. Opened last July, the exhibit traces Church’s journey to fame, highlighting his early years performing in bars, writing songs in Nashville, and his rise to become one of country music’s most respected voices.
Eric Church has maintained a unique sound and approach throughout his more than two decades in Nashville. His commitment to his artistic identity has garnered a dedicated fan base and numerous accolades, including 11 Billboard #1 country radio hits and multiple gold, platinum, and multi-platinum-certified albums. Church’s career has been marked by his dedication to songwriting, having written or co-written nearly all of his recorded and released songs. His live shows continue to sell out, and he consistently challenges his musical boundaries with each new success.
