Country singer/songwriter/guitarist Eric Church grew up in Granite Falls, NC, and began singing as a child. At 13, he started writing songs, later teaching himself to play guitar. While attending college at Appalachian State, he formed a band, the Mountain Boys, that played around western North Carolina. After graduating with a degree in marketing, he moved to Nashville, TN, to pursue a career in country music. It took him a year to get a song publishing deal with Sony/ATV Tree, after which he started getting his songs recorded by other artists, an example being Terri Clark's version of "The World Needs a Drink." He met producer Jay Joyce, who took an interest in him as a recording artist, and they began making demos. That led to his being signed by Capitol Records Nashville. His debut single, "How 'Bout You," was released in early 2006 and reached the country Top 20 by the time Capitol released his first album, Sinners Like Me, later that year. The album was both a critical and commercial success, and Church followed it up with Carolina in 2009. That album was certified gold in May 2011. Also in 2011, the Academy of Country Music dubbed Church its top new solo vocalist. Church's third album, Chief, is scheduled for release in July 2011. It was introduced by the Church co-penned single, "Homeboy."
