I’m devastated by the destruction in the mountains of western North Carolina.  These are our family members, friends, and neighbors. The community we live in part of the year still has people stranded and desperate for extraction. The whole area is in dire need of help. Anyone who knows anything about me knows what North Carolina and specifically this area in the mountains means to me personally as well as creatively.  

While we’re still gauging the extent of destruction and harm, our hearts remain with the people and our focus is on helping them. For now, we’re postponing our SiriusXM Outsiders Radio show live event at Chief’s scheduled for Monday, Sept. 30 to Tuesday, November 19.

For those asking how to help now, the Red Cross are boots on the ground: www.redcross.org/ericchurch

To all the families and first responders, you are in our prayers and we are doing everything we can to get you the help you need now.
