Eric Church is one of modern country's most exciting talents. Unafraid to venture outside of the genre's usual musical boundaries, his four studio albums have drawn influences from classic rock, disco and grunge, producing a gritty and earthy sound that is as innovative as it is catchy. His latest record Outsiders was lavished with critical praise and debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 2000. Church will be touring Outsiders throughout 2014, with able support coming from country star (and actor) Dwight Yoakam, the punk cowboy who Johnny Cash once named as his favourite male performer.
