The first taste of Deep Blue. Ernest is gearing up to release his next album, which he revealed the title of on Net Positive with John Crist a couple weeks ago, and he also talked a lot about the inspiration behind it and how it all came to be.

He’s one of the greatest performers for a reason. It’s safe to say that Eric Church is no stranger to live albums. If you recall, back in 2017 during his iconic Holdin’ My Own Tour, he embarked on a massive set of 62 shows from January to May, playing with no openers and two full sets with an intermission.
