Eric Church has sold about a half-million tickets on his Blood, Sweat & Beers tour so far this year, and he's now selling out arenas down the street from clubs he was playing just two years ago.  The whole experience of playing to that many people every night is surreal for Eric.

He tells Canada's Regina Leader-Post , "It'll never feel normal for me because I'll always feel like we're the underdog a little bit.  I'll always feel like we've got to fight harder than everybody else, that we have to give it more than everybody else."

Eric is also wrapping his head around the fact that "Springsteen" is now the second #1 single from his #1-selling album Chief. "It's just bizarre," Eric admits.

No matter what Eric thinks about it all, his fans are ready for more music from him.  His new single, "Creepin'," is starting its way up the country chart.
