Eric Church transforms hardship into harmony at new Nashville hotspot where he hosts his residency

Country star Eric Church has officially launched Chief's, a six-story venue that combines a bar, restaurant and music hall, right in the heart of Nashville's iconic Broadway. The "Record Year" singer is currently hosting a 19-show residency at this intimate 400-seat location.

Reflecting on his early days in Nashville, Church said when he left his small town in North Carolina, all he had was dreams of stardom.

"I didn't know anybody," he said. "I didn't even know where Nashville started and ended. I just knew that I came to the center of it."
