Church keeps "Holdin'" his own
Church's Holdin' My Own Tour launched in January, hitting 62 stops. Most shows have included abo8ut three dozen songs and lasted three hours over two sets.
The new dates start in Stateline, Nev. On Sept. 2 and conclude with shows in Gilford, N.H. on Sept. 21-22. For the eight new performances, Church will retire his two-set model and bring special guests to join him. The first to be announced for his Alabama dates Sept. 15-16 are CMA and ACM Duo of the Year winners, Brothers Osborne, and singer/songwriter Ashley McBryde.
"This tour has been so special musically; I can honestly say I'm really gonna miss it," Church said. "That being said, I'm looking forward to sharing the bill with some artists I enjoy. It's gonna be a fun challenge to turn a three-hour show into a shorter one that can vary drastically night-to-night."

The music, written and recorded over a short period of time with an unheard of fast turnaround, has a raw edge that bridges the gap between radio friendly country music with the more rugged sound ...
