North Carolina native Eric Church first appeared on the national music scene in 2005 when Terri Clark charted with "The World Needs a Drink," a song he co-wrote. In 2006 he was signed to Capitol Records and released his debut album Sinners Like Me. To date, the album has produced four singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "How 'Bout You," "Two Pink Lines," "Guys Like Me" and the title track. Church's songs are as straightforward as he is. His music looks its listener in the eye and speaks plainly about the human condition. It is a line that passes through Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings to John Prine and Steve Earle, and is finding a handful of torchbearers in this new century. Church is currently working on his second studio release, Carolina, due out this March. The first single, “His Kind of Money (My Kind of Love)," is now available on iTunes.
