Almost a month post-tour and I’m still feeling feelings! Very happy to be home and feeling very lucky and grateful to be working as much as I am. Having some time to relax and enjoy the new house has also been amazing! I’m baking again too! But the post-tour gloom still occasionally creeps into my brain. Missing all of my tour friends dearly! Anywho, here’s some random photos from this last month. Okay bye see you when I maybe post again in another month! 👋🏼🫶🏼
Today was truly special having the octet in the studio for Dustin Ransom’s upcoming album (coming August 20.) These songs had everyone in their feelings. Video by @billamazing
Where do I even start… this tour was truly the experience of a lifetime. I said “this is a dream come true” a lot over the course of the last year. But in reality, I never dreamt that I’d get to do something like this even in my wildest of dreams!
I’m honestly struggling to write this. I have so many emotions and so many thoughts about the whole thing. But the overwhelming two are gratitude and love. I’d heard that the people you tour with can feel like a little family, but boy was I not prepared! I love you all so much and I will miss making these memories with you all. Then there’s the gratitude. I have so much gratitude for @eleonoredenig for asking me to be a part of this, the band for welcoming us into their musical world, the Strings and Things™️ for being so loving and supportive, the entire Eric organization for making me feel so welcome and well taken care of, and Eric and Katherine for putting this whole thing together.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t incredibly sad that this experience has come to an end. But I’m also looking forward to being back home and everything that entails. Making music with my Nashville friends and family! Enjoying my new house and all the baking I’m going to do there! My cats! If you need me, I’ll be around 🧡🎻🕶️

What an amazing group of people. It’s not lost on me how incredibly lucky I am to have had such a wonderful group of people to share my first tour experience with! I can’t believe we only have three more weeks left! 🧡🧡🧡
Turned 30 last Monday and bought what will hopefully be my Nashville forever home this Monday! Thank you so much @benjaminkaufman for helping me along in this journey! I am so excited to make this place a home! Get ready for a lot of crazy baked goods to come out of my new kitchen! 🥳😊👨🍳
I forgot to post a tour roundup from our first full weekend back, so here’s two at once! Omaha, Sioux Falls, St Paul, Little Rock, Kansas City and St. Louis! This continues to be the experience of a lifetime. From the people I’ve met and become close to on this tour to all of the wonderful new places I’ve been able to explore. I truly can’t express just how much this experience means to me. 🧡🕶️🎻🎶

So excited to be back out on the road with @ericchurchmusic and the whole tour family! Two awesome shows in DC down and now back to town to hunker down for this impending snow storm! ☃️🎻❄️

Another year, another New Years cake! 2025 is honestly going to be difficult to top. So many incredible firsts! I released my first record and had an amazing release show. I joined my first ever tour with an artist I love, met so many amazing people, and travelled to so many new places. I played red rocks for the first time. I played my first awards show. I played(and sang!?!) on my first late night show. I played so much viola! I also made so many incredible memories with my dear friends. So many that I couldn’t even tag everyone! It feels cliche to say, but I genuinely couldn’t feel more lucky and dare I say... blessed. I am excited to see what 2026 has in store! 😁

That’s a wrap on the fall leg of tour and I honestly can’t be more grateful. This has been such an incredible experience getting to share the stage with so many talented and just genuinely wonderful humans. Every single person on this team, on and off stage, has been so kind and supportive and welcoming. A million thanks go to @ericchurchmusic for including us in his vision for this tour! What an honor it has been! Now it’s time for a little rest until we’re back at it again in January! 🧡

Eric Church Free the Machine Tour ~ Week 7: Vancouver, Portland, and Seattle 🇨🇦🦆☕️

So many incredible new places! Picking a favorite city of this tour so far is incredibly hard… but all three of these PNW stops are in the top! I’d never been to this area of the continent before and I am truly smitten. I’m feeling truly lucky to be getting to experience all of this while doing something I love so much. I hope I can make it back sometime in the future to continue exploring!

Eric Church Free the Machine Tour ~ Week 6(!?): Salt Lake City, Boise, and Spokane!

One of the many parts of this experience that I’ve been really grateful for is all of the travel. I haven’t travelled much in my life. This weekend we made it to three states I’d never been to! It’s been a beautiful experience getting to see more of the country and a reminder that we’re all so similar. Also, the weather in Spokane was absolutely perfect for me and I didn’t want to leave 🥲
