ERIC CHURCH HONORS THE VEGAS VICTIMS

Yes…we know he’s a country music artist. But Eric Church real is the rock star of the country music genre. Unfortunately he was one of the headlines at the concert in Las Vegas where the mass shooting occurred. He played Friday night 48 hours before the shooting took place. A couple of days later Eric was to perform at the Opry. He didn’t want to until he heard the wife of one of the victims speak about her husband who died shielding her from the bullets. That inspired him not only to play but to also write a song for the victims and survivors. Listen to his compelling story and his new song here.
