Eric Church is celebrating his 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Eric Church (The Only Way I Know, Chief, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Church, a cultural icon

Born Kenneth Eric Church in Granite Falls on May 3, 1977, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Church's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Eric hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Eric Church as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 49.

Happy Birthday, Eric, you're the best!
