“To be listed beside these acts—based solely on the number of tickets sold throughout the year on our tour—is just incredible. I distinctively remember playing for eight people just over two years ago in a club in Texas, so to hear that that number has grown to what it was in 2012 is a true testament to the fans, their passion, and my band and crew’s dedication to making our show the best it can be night after night,” shares Church.
The number of tickets sold on The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour in 2012, which covered 101 tour dates, matches what he sold in the prior six years of his touring career.
Church was also the only country artist to be mentioned by name in a recent The New York Times feature,
“The Best Concerts of 2012, as Seen by Times Critics” noting his March
14 show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York was “a mean show.” The
recap further raved that Church delivered his “post-outlaw anthems” with
“verve and tension, as if he might not be allowed to for much longer.”
The list also includes Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Jay-Z and Radiohead,
Mumford & Sons, and The Rolling Stones, among others.
In 2013, Church will release a live album and join Kenny Chesney for the stadium dates of his No Shoes Nation Tour, commencing March 16, 2013 in Tampa, Fla.
