Listen: Eric Church Has The Mountain Stage Song Of The Week

Eric Church was a rising star in country music when he treated a 2008 Mountain Stage audience in Bristol, Tennessee, to a stripped-down acoustic performance of what is normally a loud, electric stage show. Today he holds the title of CMA’s 2020 Entertainer of the Year and sells out stadium shows.

“Sinners Like Me” is the Mountain Stage Song Of The Week, and was one of the hits from Church’s debut 2006 album of the same title.
