Eric Church to Release 122 Live Recordings in the Coming Weeks in New Project, “61 Days In Church” . . . 30 Songs Available Now

Eric Church is releasing more than 100 live recordings from his recent 61-date Holdin’ My Own Tour in a project he’s calling 61 Days in Church.

Eric has partnered with Apple Music to share 122 live recordings, with the first 30 songs available for streaming on Friday, Sept. 1. Additional songs will be released through the end of the year, bringing the total to 122 songs. On Sept. 15, other streaming platforms will roll out the songs.

“I had so much fun learning songs that were unique to whatever city we found ourselves in,” said Eric. “I learned a lot about each place, and it was special to see the crowd react to the songs that were only for them. I’m glad we recorded it and can relive it forever.”

Eric is no stranger to surprise announcements. He surprised the country music industry in 2015 by releasing his new album, Mr. Misunderstood, without any fanfare.

Tour posters from each tour stop will serve as the artwork for each week’s release.
