“What happened? @ericchurch walked off a short set from #CMAfest without as much as a thanks for coming,” one follower asked on Twitter. 

“I’ve seen him so many times and that was so strange. There’s gotta be more to this story.” 

Despite having to switch plans due to unforeseen circumstances, the festival tweeted later in the day: “As we continue monitoring inclement weather near #CMAfest, we’re optimistic that we’ll be able to put on a full show this evening.”
