Back in February, Eric Church first expressed his frustrations with ticket scalpers, telling Billboard, “Scalpers piss me off. We tried to make our tickets very accessible to fans, we kept the ticket prices low. What we didn’t count on was all these big ticket brokers would join our fan club, infiltrate our system, take advantage of our system and buy up all these tickets.”
If you haven’t been following the drama surrounding Eric Church’s inflammatory comments in a Rolling Stone interview, allow us to fill you in. Church came down especially hard on the reality TV judges, saying “If I was concerned about my legacy, there’s no f—ing way I would ever sit there .” Understandably, this stirred some negative attention from ‘The Voice‘ coach (and Season 2 winner!) Blake Shelton and his ever-devoted wife, Lindale's own Miranda Lambert. Church has since apologized for offending his peers (though he stood by his comments), but Miranda wants to see him beg.

Twenty-one just might turn out to be Eric Church‘s new lucky number. Church, who is currently criss-crossing the country on his first headlining trek, the Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour, has officially sold out a total of 21 shows, as his upcoming May 19 performance at the legendary Red Rocks Amplitheatre in Morrison, Colo. has just reached capacity.
Eric Church has never been one to hoist up the cost of his concert tickets to pad his pockets. In fact, he says that goes against his entire philosophy as an artist, as his goal has always been to get more people to his shows rather than more money per ticket sale. With this mentality, then, it’s not surprising that the Grammy-nominated singer is so peeved about what’s been happening at shows all along his Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour. Church has some choice words for the big ticket brokers that have been purchasing his tickets and scalping them to fans.

December 27, 2011 With a new year ushering in, I think back of all the great music in 2011. My favorite album has to be "Chief" from Eric Church.

Looks like the hard work and solitude paid off! Oh and he becane a daddy for the first time this year too!
