Eric Church and his album, Chief, were feted at a platinum-album party in Nashville on Monday (July 30th) in front of family (including wife Katherine and son Boone), friends, band, crew, record label and industry insiders. Eric’s recent two-week No. 1 single, “Springsteen,” was also celebrated and included presentations to the star’s co-writers, Jeff Hyde and Ryan Tyndell.

Eric received several “platinum” items to celebrate the status of Chief — which debuted at the top of the Billboard album charts last July — including a pair of platinum sunglasses, a box of custom cigars, a custom barrel of Jack Daniels (his favorite beverage) and a special bottle of the single barrel liquor with a platinum label–the first of its kind.

Check out what Eric had to say to those in attendance below.
