Eric Church was completely “blown away and totally floored” by a Christmas gift that he received from Keith Urban.
In a recent interview on Today’s Country Radio with Kelleigh Bannen, Church chatted with Bannen about his forthcoming triple album Heart & Soul, his upcoming National Anthem performance at Super Bowl LV with Jazmine Sullivan and a gift that he received from Urban for Christmas this past year that he says is “unbelievable.”
Urban gifted Church a “pre-war” 1933 Martin guitar for Christmas to thank him for their chart-topping single “We Were,” a track that appears as a duet with Church on Urban’s latest record, The Speed of Now Part 1. Church also co-wrote the tune.
“You know what’s interesting? Keith Urban sent me a 1933 Martin for Christmas,” Church recalled. “This Christmas. I came back and it was underneath the tree and I was blown away. He was thanking for the ‘We Were’ song that we had. Unbelievable. I came back from Christmas, underneath the tree and he had a letter with it. I was just, I was floored. I was totally floored.”
Bannen asked Church “that is nuts, where did he find this guitar?”
“I have no idea, I have not got the full story,” Church replied. “He says we got to talk about it at some point in time.”

Church is preparing to release his triple album, Heart & Soul, and just-released his single “Heart On Fire” from the first of the three albums coming.
The superstar is set to perform the National Anthem alongside Jazmine Sullivan at Super Bowl LV on February 7, 2021.
