Eric Church will be busy the week of the Grammy's!

Eric Church is set to perform at the Grammy’s on February 8th and he’s nominated in every country category.  Pretty exciting stuff…but…it’s a little stressful for him too because his wife Katherine is due to deliver their second child the week after the Grammy’s…and she’s determined to go to the show in Los Angeles.  Eric is working on flying her out just for the day.  With such a full Grammy schedule, the last thing he needs to worry about is his wife going into labor in L.A., but if she goes into labor in Nashville while he’s in L.A….that’s bad too.  If she goes into labor on Grammy night, Eric says it’s going to be an interesting night for all of us.
