Headliner Eric Church with special guests Brantley Gilbert and Blackberry Smoke brought their special
brand of southern-fried country rock to the Ford Center on April 19. Church proclaims in “How Bout You,†one of his
most popular hits, “Give me a crowd that’s redneck and loud, and we’ll raise the roof.†This sold out audience was eager
to comply as voices and lighted cell phones alike were often raised during the entirety of the three and a half hour show.
“Evansville continues to show great support for top country acts such as Eric Church,†said Executive Director Scott
Schoenike. “This will continue to attract elite country performers to the Ford Center in the future,†stated Schoenike.
