Eric Church will be taking part in a “Signings & Sightings” event following his performance in the Wolf Den on June 19th

UNCASVILLE, CT (May 19, 2009)— Immediately following his performance in the Wolf Den on Friday, June 19th, rising Country music star Eric Church will participate in a “Signings & Sightings” event.  This exclusive “Signings & Sightings” event will take place on the Spin Street Stage in The Shops at Mohegan Sun concourse, and is sponsored by Spin Street and The Shops at Mohegan Sun.

Eric Church’s performance is at 8:00pm in the Wolf Den.  The Wolf Den is free and open to the public and seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Eric Church’s album Carolina will be available on the day of and leading up to this event in Spin Street, located in The Shops concourse.

North Carolina native Eric Church has built up an impressive catalogue of Country music since forming a solid partnership with producer Jay Joyce just prior to the recording of his debut album Sinner Like Me.  The single “How Bout You” landed on the Country Top 20 chart and Sinner Like Me went on to be a huge success both commercially and critically.  Church’s sophomore LP Carolina released this year, is already being touted as a “must-have” by fans and critics alike.  The album teams Church and Joyce up once again and features the hit single “Love Your Love the Most” accompanied by standout tracks like “Longer Gone” and “Without You Here.”

Due to the short timeframe for the event and the number of fans expected, Eric Church will only be signing copies of his CDs.  Absolutely no memorabilia of any kind can be signed.
