“I’ve played a lot of shows. I’ve never had two nights like these where the room felt literally transported. We went to a different plane, musically, artistically, emotionally,” Church reflects. “It was unforgettable and I’ll remember it the rest of my days.”

The limited release captures Church performing his eighth studio album front-to-back before diving into some of his most cherished hits, including “Desperate Man,” “Give Me Back My Hometown,” “Sinners Like Me,” “Mistress Named Music,” and, of course, “Springsteen.”

Filmed over two nights at The Pinnacle in Nashville, the film showcases a powerhouse lineup of musicians including a six-piece band, four-piece horn and string sections, an eight-member choir, and longtime vocalist Joanna Cotton. This element of the show further amplifies the music fans know and love.

Directed by Reid Long and Executive Produced by Barak Moffitt, Andrea Dunn, Mike Harris, Rob Femia and John Peets, Church is represented by WME, Q Prime South and MCA Nashville.

A list of participating theaters and ticketing information will be available soon at Imax.Com/EricChurch.
