Thomas Rhett makes it no secret that since he was a teenager, he has been a huge Eric Church fan.

As a matter of fact, Church songs have been he and his wife's soundtrack for quite some time. Thomas says, “We both were, and still are, obsessed with Eric Church. But I remember when we were, I guess, 16 years old, both of us had ‘(These) Boots’ and ‘Two Pink Lines’ and all those older Eric Church songs. We kind of bonded over Eric Church in a strange way. And still to this day, man Eric is something, that when he makes records we both look forward to those coming out.”

Thomas’ fans are looking forward to his new album, Center Point Road, featuring “Look What God Gave Her,” which will be released on May 31st.

Rhett and his dad Rhett Akins recently played a show in Hawaii. Thomas shared on Instagram, "Me and pops play Honolulu. It was epic! Thanks so much for making my first Hawaiian show sold out! Aloha."
