Morgan Wallen showed up on stage at a new Nashville club called The Twelve Thirty Club co-owned by superstar Justin Timberlake, and Eric Church joined him on stage for a few songs.

They performed as part of the club’s grand opening last night (9/22).

Joined by his mentor Eric, Morgan performed two songs, including “Silverado For Sale” and “Sand In My Boots.”

Before he joined Wallen, Church took to the stage with an acoustic guitar to sing a few songs, including “Drink In My Hand” and a cover of Bob Seger’s “Night Moves.”

One fan posted some video of the performance on Instagram, writing in part, “@morganwallen joined @ericchurchmusic on stage for the 9/21 “soft opening” of the new @thetwelvethirtyclub (It opens to the public on 9/28).”

Co-owned by Sam Fox and Justin Timberlake, The Twelve Thirty Club is located at Fifth + Broadway in Downtown Nashville. The 400-seat Supper Club will officially be open on September 28, as the final part of the three-story bar and restaurant.

Eric Church 20 Of His Best Songs

• 20. “How ‘Bout You” (2006)

  Share

  A good one for his debut single from his 2006 debut album “Sinners Like Me.” Church wrote this song with Brandon Church (his brother) and Brett Beavers.

• 19. “Give Me Back My Hometown” (2014)

  Share

  An Eric co-write with Luke Laird. It was released in January 2014 as the second single from his album “The Outsiders.” The song reached number one on the US Billboard Country Airplay chart in May of that year.

• 18. “Guys Like Me” (2006)

  Share

  Great line: “I ain’t scared to bleed.” In the song, Eric describes the ways in which his lifestyle appears incompatible with that of his partner. He hypothesizes that even though she has lots of other men interested in her, it is an act of God's will that motivates her to choose someone like him.
• 17. “Hell on the Heart” (2009

  Share

  A top ten for Eric who sings about a girl he knows, saying that she is "heaven on the eyes / But boy, she's hell on the heart."

• 16. “Smoke a Little Smoke” (2010)

  Share

  Somewhat of a controversial song when it was first released, over a decade ago. The video sees Church driving vintage cars at Clarksville Speedway, and includes a cameo from NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne.

• 15. “The Outsiders” (2013)

  Share

  Eric described it as a mix of Waylon Jennings and Metallica. Church also said when it came out, “It’s a bit of a statement. I wanted to send a message with this album that it’s gonna be different, it’s gonna be another level."
• 14. “Cold One” (2014)

  Share

  A straight up country song. Church states in the song that a woman took a beer from a twelve-pack that he was drinking at the time and describes both the beer and her sudden departure as a "cold one."

• 13. “Does to Me” (2020)

  Share

  Eric joined one of his biggest fans on this duet with Luke Combs. It’s a solid collaboration co-written by Combs along with Ray Fulcher and Tyler Reeve, it is the third single from Combs's 2019 album What You See Is What You Get.’

• 12. “Mr. Misunderstood” (2015)

  Share

  Church dropped this album of the same name backstage to media on the night of the 2015 CMA Awards. The song is about a misfit teenager, expressing sympathy for his being "misunderstood." In it, Eric says some encouraging words about the good things that will happen one day when people will appreciate him.
• 11. “Some of It” (2019)

  Share

  "Some of It" became Eric Church's eighth number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. It’s pure Church.

• 10. “Monsters” (2019

  Share

  This one is a bit eerie but makes a statement using the analogy of a monster hiding under a child's bed to represent troubles in one's life.

• 9. “Desperate Man” (2018)

  Share

  In the cool music video for this song, Church gets "busted" by FBI agents whose uniforms read EMI, the name of his record label.
• 8. “Hell of a View” (2020)

  Share

  It is the lead single from Eric’s new album “Soul,” part of a triple album set. The track features backing vocals from Church's longtime collaborator Joanna Cotton.

• 7. “Creepin'” (2012)

  Share

  Church describes the memory of a former lover as being similar to "creepin'." The tune features a banjo and an electric guitar, as well as several vocal effects on Eric’s voice.

• 6. “Record Year” (2016)

  Share

  It’s about a man who recovers from a broken heart by listening to a collection of vinyl record albums.
• 5. “Stick That in Your Country Song” (2020)

  Share

  This is pure Church; even the title is exciting. The song doesn’t disappoint either as it addresses several social issues and situations including underprivileged lives in urban areas, a soldier coming back from war, and an overworked and underpaid school- teacher. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance.

• 4. “Raise ‘Em Up” (2015)

  Share

  An amazing duet with Keith Urban. It asks every concert crowd to simply “Raise ‘Em Up.”

• 3. “Talladega” (2014)

  Share

  "Talladega" is a song about a man who is sharing memories from a trip made to Talladega Superspeedway with friends after his senior year in high school. Eric and his crew filmed the video for the song at the real Talladega Superspeedway.
• 2. “Drink in My Hand” (2011)

  Share

  This song is just infectious and gets you to really want to put a drink in your hand. It was Church’s first number one song on the Billboard Country Singles chart.

• 1. “Springsteen” (2012)

  Share

  Obviously inspired by an idol of his, Bruce Springsteen; like many of Bruce’s early songs, it tells the story of a teenage romance. And it got the attention of Jersey’s favorite son: if you search “Bruce Springsteen and Eric Church” on YouTube, you’ll see Bruce inviting Eric onstage for a duet of “Workin’ On The Highway.”
