Eric Church gifted his new song, “Darkest Hour,” to his home state of North Carolina. Church hails from Granite Falls east of Asheville, a region that has been devastated by flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida on September 26 and then took aim at Appalachia. As Church put it in a video posted to social media: “There are some places that are just biblically gone.”
