Eric Church and his fans are known to have a good ole time when it comes to a live show.
Kenny Vaughan, a longtime guitarist for Marty and a guitarist in his band The Fabulous Superlatives talks about opening up for Eric Church.
Kenny Vaughan says they’ve went on the road with Chris Stapleton quite a bit and the difference between Stapleton’s crowd and Church’s is very different.
“I mean, we opened for Eric Church once, and I’ve never seen, ever in my entire career, people that drunk, and that many people that drunk.
I’ve never, before or since, we were shocked. We were just like, ‘Woah, those people aren’t even home.’ I mean, they’re just walking digestive tracts by the time you’re up there playing.
They can’t even focus, they won’t remember this show.”
“Well, the Stapleton gig, you go out and play and they’re all looking at you and watching you play, you know? They even clap sometimes at your first solo or something.
But they were focused, and I was making eye contact with people, and they were listening. They’re a listening crowd, not really a drinking crowd at all, really.”
