Have you ever wondered what a country star does right before the lights go up? Eric Church is pulling back the curtain on his “Free the Machine Tour.” We see him step off the tour bus, cool and ready, with a drink in hand. He walks through the backstage halls, giving a peek at the life just moments before showtime.
The feeling is surprisingly calm before the storm. Eric smiles and fist-bumps a few kids waiting in the hallway. He stops for photos with fans at a meet and greet. It feels personal. Back in the dressing room, he checks his guitar and looks over the list of songs for the night.
Here is a look behind the scenes on the Free the Machine Tour!
As he walks toward the stage, you can feel the energy change. The crew gives him a nod. He adjusts his earpiece and straps on his guitar. The arena is dark, but you can hear the thousands of people waiting. It is the last deep breath before the first song. It is an amazing moment to see.
Seeing the quiet moments backstage is one thing. It shows the person. But what happens when he steps into those bright lights? A show in Boston at the TD Garden shows exactly what that energy builds up to. This is the moment all the fans have been waiting for. It is the payoff for that quiet walk.
