Eric Church is overseas for his European Tour, which has him performing in Stockholm, Sweden Monday night (February 29th) and Oslo, Norway on Tuesday (March 1st). He’ll make stops in Germany, Switzerland and Amsterdam before performing three dates during the C2C Festival (Country to Country) – Dublin, Ireland (March 11th), Glasgow, Scotland (March 12th) and London, England (March 13th).

Eric, who’s previously toured across the pond, talks about some of the highlights of playing Europe.
“The great thing about Europe is, with the trains and with how interconnected it is, is you can just jump on a train and go anywhere,” says Eric. “I remember I was in Germany one day, I had a day off, I was in Munich I think, and I just went to the train station, I was actually not even planning to take a train, but I was walking past the train station and all of a sudden I saw Zurich and I saw all these other countries I could go to, by just jumping on a train, and I just jumped on a train [laughs]. I ended up in Austria, and different places that day, and it was easy. It was an hour and I was back that night. I love being able to just jump on and just go.”

The North Carolina native has hit the airwaves with his latest single, “Record Year,” from his Mr. Misunderstood album.

Eric is nominated for six ACM Awards, including his first-ever ACM Entertainer of the Year nod, as well as Male Vocalist, Album for Mr. Misunderstood, Video for “Mr. Misunderstood” and Vocal Event of the Year for “Raise ‘Em Up” with Keith Urban. He’s also nominated for Song of the Year with Keith for “Raise ‘Em Up” (award also goes to artist). The 51st Academy of Country Music Awards will air live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on April 3rd on CBS.
