Tune in even if you can’t make it. Eric Church is gearing up for three nights at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. But instead of performing the same show each night, the three night run will feature three entirely different shows from Church each evening. The first show on July 14 will be “Eric Church vs. The Machine,” and will feature “a full-scale production featuring his band joined by a dynamic ensemble of strings, horns and choir.” The second show, on July 15, is billed as “Eric Church vs. The ECB,” and sounds like the most traditional Eric Church show of the three nights, featuring “a raw, high-energy set with his original band, including longtime collaborator Joanna Cotten.” And for the third night, he’s stripping it back for “Eric Church vs. The Guitar,” which will be “a stripped-down, intimate evening with Church alone on stage, delivering an acoustic performance like only he can.” (This is the one I’m REALLY looking forward to). According to Church, the shows will set the stage for his upcoming tour, which will feature a mixture of all three shows in one. Speaking with Variety on what he has planned for the Free the Machine tour, Church says he wants to incorporate parts of each of the Red Rocks shows into the tour: “Everything we do every stop on the tour is gonna be within the scope of those three nights. So the first night at Red Rocks, we’re gonna do an orchestra, big band kind of thing. Night two, we’re gonna do old-school band, the OG group. And then night three is me acoustic. So I think the (normal one-night-only) show will end up being in some way the three Red Rocks shows combined into one. You’re gonna have these moments of where we are now with “Evangeline,” and we’re gonna also bring some of the strings and horns into some of our older stuff. You know, you’ve seen “Mistress (Named Music),” you’ve seen “Knives (of New Orleans)” before, but not this way. And then we’ll kind of go into what got us here, and then I think the end of the show will be me and a guitar.” I can’t wait. I’ve never been to Red Rocks before, so as soon as Church announced these shows I knew I had to buy tickets. So if you’re going to be in Colorado, hit me up because I’m flying solo. If you’re not there, however, and still want to experience what are sure to be three magical shows, Church just announced that all three nights will be livestreamed on nugs.net. Fans can choose to just stream one show, or save by bundling all three nights together. And of course members of his Church Choir fan club also get a discount. (Not going to share the code here, but check your email if you’re in the Choir). It looks like it’s going to be $59.99 if you want to watch all three nights in HD (or $74.99 to watch in 4k), or if you only want to watch one night, individual shows are $24.99 or $29.99 for HD and 4k respectively. Church just wrapped up a three night run of festivals filling in for Luke Bryan, performing all three shows acoustic with just his backup singer Joanna Cotten. And they looked absolutely incredible. In fact, I was searching to see if I could find somebody who was livestreaming them so I could watch to see what he would break out. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a livestream for his most recent shows, but it sounds like you won’t have that problem if you aren’t able to make it to Red Rocks and still want to catch the shows. I have a feeling that if you’re an Eric Church fan you won’t want to miss these. I’m already counting down the days until I get to Colorado.
