Eric Church was the headliner for Friday night at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. He played the Grand Ole Opry last night (10.4.17) and left the crowd speechless. He shared the story of a fan of his, Sonny Melton, who traveled to Vegas specifically to see Church play. Sadly Melton is one who was senselessly killed on Sunday night. Melton and his girlfriend had tickets for last night’s show at the Opry. Their seats were empty, and Church reveals that is the only reason he was there – to play for them. Please take the time to watch the video below.

About The Author
I was born & raised in Orlando, but chased my dream of living in Tennessee. There are plenty of more dreams to chase, and living here was the first step. I grew up on country music and remember riding around in my dad’s truck singing along to Reba, The Judds, and of course, King George. Pure Country was a movie that played often in our house. These days, I absolutely love following “up and coming” artists. Cale Dodds is my favorite; and I’m at his shows more often than not! I love everything about country music; the way artists appreciate their fan base, the loyalty the fans show their favorite performers, and how it brings people together. I am so thankful for the experiences and friendships that Got Country has given me.
