Eric Church recently revealed to fans in a video that he hoping to hit the road this year.

Eric told fans, “We are working on a North American tour. We’re waiting for the right timing to officially announce all the details, but I want you to know that a tour is coming, and we are very excited to play new music for our old friends… I cannot wait to see you on the road.”

Meanwhile, Eric recently told the LA Times how hard it has been not to perform in concert. He said, "Yeah. I’ve been able to keep all my band and crew and all my guys — we’ve not even cut salaries, and I’m proud of that. But it’s been an incredibly strange and trying time, and I know I’ve got it a lot better than most people. But I’m hopeful. I didn’t feel as hopeful late last year but I like where we’re heading. I think 2021’s gonna be a redemption year."

Church also revealed a new song called “Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones,” which is one of two songs on “Heart & Soul” that he didn't write. He said of the songs, “Casey Beathard had written that song and I first played it laying back on my bed for a guitar vocal. I tried to play it the same way a thousand times after that, but there’s a way that song develops that we never could recapture – something about relaxing and laying back; there’s a lope to that song."
