We know a lot of folks are going to be interested in this 98% unedited interview with Granite Falls native Eric Church. The 2% we took out is because Chad wouldn't shut-up about his own stupid band.

And since this fun-filled interview is running at 21 minutes (our choice), we decided to give you a small list of just some of the highlights and laughs. Special thanks to Judy McDonough for helping to make this happen. And special thanks to Eric and his wife, Catherine, (and Judy!) for stopping by!
