The Boss and the Chief.
Last night, Eric Church joined Bruce Springsteen at his 12th Annual “Stand Up For Heroes” benefit, an annual event that raises money for veterans and their families. Sharing the stage at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden, Church and Springsteen performed “Working on the Highway,” a 1984 hit from Springsteen’s iconic Born In The U.S.A. album.
Of course, Springsteen was the inspiration for what has become arguably Church’s biggest hit, “Springsteen,” so naturally, this was a pretty big moment for the Chief. All the proceeds from the event went to the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which to date, has generated over $57 million for wounded vets.
Church also performed the unreleased fan favorite “Standing Their Ground,” a song he wrote for, and dedicated to, our nation’s heroes.
If you’ve never seen it, here’s a full performance of “Standing Their Ground” from Eric’s Opry visit back in 2017.
