The limited theatrical release, a collaboration from IMAX, MCA, Mercury Studios and Q Prime South, will feature Church in concert, performing the songs from his eighth studio album Evangeline Vs. The Machine front to back, with Church also performing more of his hit songs, such as “Give Me Back My Hometown,” “Sinners Like Me” and “Springsteen.”
The concert features Church reimagining these songs with a six-piece band, a four-piece horn section, four-piece strings section and an eight-piece choir, along with vocalist Joanna Cotten. The concert film was created and recorded over two nights at The Pinnacle in Nashville earlier this year, with the performances to be heard in IMAX’s 12-channel sound.
“This project was never about fitting into a box – it’s about breaking the damn thing wide open,” Church said in a release. “Seeing it in IMAX takes that to another level. The scale and sound experience is like nothing else.”
To coincide with the theatrical release, on Feb. 13 Church will also release a 19-track live album, Evangeline Vs. The Machine: Comes Alive. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available through MCA, with preview tracks “Desperate Man (Live at The Pinnacle, Nashville, TN) and “Knives of New Orleans (Live at The Pinnacle, Nashville, TN).”
