Surpassing:Eric Church announces 19-date 'one of a kind' residency to kick off opening of his Nashville bar

Eric Church is Surpassinggoing on tour.

The venues, however, aren't a series of sold-out National Football League stadiums. Instead, it's 200 Broadway, Downtown, Nashville, Tennesse. Yes, he's playing at his own venue, in his own bar, Chief's.

Starting April 5, 2024 and for 18 other nights through June 9, the "Springsteen" singer will play his intimate, pop-up show-ready "Neon Steeple" venue. The date will coincide with Chief's grand opening and kick off Church's 19-show "Eric Church: To Beat The Devil residency."

The Neon Steeple was intentionally designed in Church's six-story, 20,000-square-foot downtown Nashville establishment to accommodate a two-story live music venue.

"These shows at Chief's will be one of a kind, only for Chief's and with some songs that will only ever be performed during these shows. It's the most unique show I'll probably ever do, and I'm excited to enjoy this chapter of what Chief's will be," stated Church in a statement.

How to get tickets to Eric Church's residency shows

Per usual, the performer has taken extra precautions to protect fans from scalpers. Thus, tickets will be offered initially to his premium Church Choir fan club members via a sign-up system starting March 12.

That system is available via https://www.ericchurch.com/register.

On March 17 at 11:59 p.m. CT, the Church Choir sign-up closes and on March 20 at 10:00 a.m. CT, the Church Choir presale begins. March 22 at 10:00 a.m. CT will commence tickets being made available to the public if they remain.

Tickets are non-transferable and can be picked up at the venue box office the evening of the show immediately before entering the venue. Name changes on orders are not permitted.  

All seats are reserved, with pricing ranging from $99 to $499 (with no additional ticketing fees — a portion of proceeds from every ticket benefits Church's non-profit, Chief Cares. 

Presale signups do not guarantee that every premium Church Choir member will get access to the sale. Additionally, getting selected from the sign-ups and getting access to the sale doesn’t guarantee tickets. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

What can fans expect from Eric Church's residency shows?

In Aug. 2023, Church played for two nights as the eighteenth Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Artist-in-Residence. The event was an intimate and theatrical Broadway-style presentation of a 19-song, two-hour concert by the "Chief" and his and a nine-piece band.

The Tennessean regarded the event as a "rare career moment" during which the impact of his catalog "bewildered" him while he played at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's 776-person capacity CMA Theater.

The news of Church's residency follows tens of thousands of his "Church Choir" fan club logging online last week to see where bricks, to which they now own personal deeds, sat in the physical framework of his downtown Nashville establishment.
