Nashville, TN – Country music star Eric Church is set to launch his highly anticipated ‘Free the Machine’ tour in support of his new album, ‘Evangeline vs. The Machine.’ The tour is scheduled to begin on September 12, 2025, following the album’s release on May 2, 2025. Fans can expect a mix of new compositions along with some of Church’s established hits.
‘Evangeline vs. The Machine’ features eight songs with a total runtime of 36 minutes. One notable track, ‘Hands of Time’, delves into themes of aging and pays homage to various artists like AC/DC, Bob Marley, and Meat Loaf. The album’s title reflects the ongoing tension between technology and artistic expression, which is a central theme in another track titled ‘Evangeline.’
Church’s production for ‘Evangeline’ marks a departure from his previous hard-rocking sound, showcasing more orchestral elements. Throughout the album, he aims for emotional depth, targeting a sense of connection with his audience rather than short-lived trends popularized by social media.
Church has been transparent about his challenges with the evolving digital music landscape, striving to create complete albums that resonate on a deeper level. His previous performances, including a unique triple header at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, have highlighted his commitment to diverse musical themes and styles.
One of the standout tracks, ‘Johnny’, was inspired by the tragic Covenant School shooting in Nashville in 2023 and articulates Church’s reflections on gun violence. Additionally, he has directed royalties from another track, ‘Darkest Hour’, to assist victims of Hurricane Helene in his home state of North Carolina.
With a successful career boasting 11 No. 1 country radio hits and five platinum-or-better albums, Eric Church continues to leave an indelible mark on the country music genre. He is not only recognized for his music but also for his entrepreneurial ventures, including owning a bar on Nashville’s Broadway called Chief’s, a whiskey line, and holding a stake in the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets. His performance style often incorporates a blend of rock-rooted country songs alongside fan favorites like ‘Smoke a Little Smoke,’ ‘Springsteen,’ and ‘Drink in My Hand.’
As Eric Church prepares for his ‘Free the Machine’ tour, fans eagerly await an opportunity to experience the artist’s latest work, marked by personal introspection and broader social themes. With a commitment to creating music that holds significance beyond mere entertainment, Church continues to resonate deeply with audiences, fostering an emotional connection through his artistry.
