Keybank
Eric Church and “ The Gather Again Tour” will take on the Keybank Center on Saturday September 25th at 8:00pm. Tickets will range, estimating between $49-164.
Artist Eric Church intends to make the most of the time we lost and the long-waited opportunity to “gather again”. He wants to try to have as many fans there as possible while still following all local health guidelines in place at the time of the show.
This Nashville reigning CMA entertainer of the year and current ACM entertainer of the year nominee will be sure to put on a good show. He can’t wait to get out there again and share his music with live audiences again – which has been long overdue.
