Singer Eric Church and wife Katherine, who welcomed their first child on October 3rd, are ready to show off their son.

Dressed in a festive, cozy red coverall — and cuddled in the country crooner’s six-string guitar case — Church reveals the 10-week-old has already left a profound impact on the lives of his proud parents.

“Everyone always tells you what an awesome and unique experience being a parent is, but words can never do the feeling justice,” explains the new papa. “The way our life changed in that 24-hour period alone after he was born — just by putting a little boy in the house — was awesome.”

Having been skyrocketed into the spotlight since the release of his GRAMMY-nominated album CHIEF that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart he adds, “It will be interesting to see how this new chapter in our life manifests itself musically.  I’ve always made music that was representative of real life. Life doesn’t get more real than having a newborn at home.”
 
Church plans to celebrate his son’s first Christmas at home with his wife and family. His headlining tour, The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour, will commence in 2012 in Fort Smith, AR on January 19.
