Country songwriter, guitarist, pianist and singer Eric Church was born in Granite Falls, North Carolina, on May 3, 1977. He studied business before moving to Nashville to try his luck in music. He signed a contract with Capitol Nashville, which enabled him to record his first single "How 'Bout You", followed by the album Sinners Like Me (2006), in a country-rock style. Two other tracks hit the country Top 20: "Two Pink Lines" and "Guys Like Me". Three years later, his second album, Carolina, brought him three new chart-topping singles, including two in the country Top 10: "Love Your Love the Most" and "Hell on the Heart". He then scored his first number-one hits with the album Chief (2011), featuring "Drink in My Hand" and "Springsteen". The following year, he collaborated with Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean on "The Only Way I Know". In 2014, his fourth album The Outsiders is another success, featuring the singles "Talladega" (#2 country), "Give Me Back My Hometown" (#4), "Like a Wrecking Ball" and the title track (#6). In 2015, her duet with Keith Urban on "Raise 'Em Up" earned her her sixth country number one. Released the same year, his sixth album Mr. Misunderstood reached #2 on the country charts, as did the title track "Record Year", while the duet with Rihannon Giddens, "Kill a Word", reached #9. His next album, Desperate Man (2018), featured a homonymous single. Since the second, all his albums have been certified platinum. Heart & Soul, released in 2021, comes in a new three-disc format, Heart, &, and Soul, featuring 24 new tracks by the country singer. It is preceded by the singles "Stick That in Your Country Song", which won the Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance of the Year, and "Hell of View". After giving solo concerts because two of his accompanists were suffering from Covid-19, Church organizes a Concert for Carolina with Luke Combs to raise funds after Hurricane Helene in September 2024. He writes a song about it, "Darkest Hour", featured with the hit "Hands of Time" on his eighth album Evangeline vs. the Machine (2025), which reaches #5 on the country charts (#1 country in the UK) and #30 on the Billboard 200. The same month, May 2025, he sings with Morgan Wallen on "Number 3 and Number 7".
