The trailer for Eric Church’s IMAX concert film “Evangeline Vs the Machine: Comes Alive” is now out. The film hits IMAX theaters across North America for two nights only: February 11 and February 14. Featuring a complete run-through of his album “Evangeline Vs. The Machine” as well as live versions of some of his biggest hits, Church says of the film, “This project was never about fitting into a box – it’s about breaking the damn thing wide open. Seeing it in IMAX takes that to another level. The scale and sound experience is like nothing else.” Tickets for the IMAX screenings can be bought here. 

Kenny Chesney has topped the country charts dozens of times, but he’s just topped a different chart for the first time. Chesney says he got a text from the editor of his new book “Heart Life Music.” “When our editor sent a text asking to Zoom,” Chesney said, “I figured he wanted to let us down easy. After all, ‘The New York Times’ is such a big deal…Everybody wants to be part of, if not number one on, their best-seller lists. Rather than send an email, obviously, he was going to soften the news.” Instead, there was no letting down to be done. “Heart Life Music” was #1 on both the ‘New York Times” “Hardcover Nonfiction” and the “Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction Best Sellers Lists.” Kenny Chesney: chart-topping country legend and now, chart-topping author.

They’re putting the “stream” in streaming…and on broadcast television. Field & Stream and media company Outdoor America are partnering up, with Outdoor America’s free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel being rebranded as Field & Stream TV in January. The two companies also plan to distribute programming on broadcast TV, available to 90-million households weekly through broadcast syndication, with additional details to be announced. The rebranded channel will feature “exclusive new content, original series and special programming, offering sponsors the largest combined audience reach in outdoor media,” the companies said in a statement. The Field & Stream brand was obtained by country stars Morgan Wallen and Eric Church last year.

Congratulations to Cody Johnson and his wife Brandi, who have welcomed their third child (and first son) into the world! While the couple have yet to share the news officially on their social media pages, the singer did say on this past weekend’s “Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton” that Jaycee Daniel Johnson had arrived on October 21. Jaycee joins his older sisters Clara, 10, and Cori, 8.

Riley Green is bringing his appreciation for the US military to the stage. He’s announced a short series of three shows at three different military bases: Kanagawa, Japan, at the US Navy Base Fleet Yokosuka on March 9th; the Naval Air Facility Atsugi on March 10th; and Hickam, Hawaii, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor on March 22nd. The shows will feature Green performing live for sailors, service members, and their families. CAC (common access card) or authorized base access will be required. The dates are being mixed in with Riley’s trip to the other side of the globe for his “Cowboy As It Gets Tour,” which will be playing Australia about the same time.
