New York, NY/Sydney, Australia– Country music entertainer Scotty McCreery
has heard his fans’ requests from around the world and this week he
answers by bringing his music global, performing on television shows in
two countries this week.
First, McCreery takes over the “FOX & Friends All-American Summer
Concert Series” stage once again this Friday, June 2. The ACM, BMI and
CMT Award-winning singer/songwriter will perform his new single “Five
More Minutes” in addition to several of his biggest hits for both the
national television audience and the live crowd watching the outdoor
stage. “FOX & Friends” airs from 6:00-9:00 AM/ET on the FOX News
Channel.
Then, halfway around the world on Saturday, June 3, CMC (Country Music
Channel) in Australia will premiere “CMC Songs & Stories: Scotty
McCreery” at 8:30 AM (Australia Eastern Standard Time). The show
features McCreery and his guitarists Jeff Harper and Dylan Rosson
performing acoustic versions of “Five More Minutes,” “See You Tonight,”
“Feelin’ It,” “I Love You This Big,” and “Walk in the Country.” It will
re-air that day at 2 PM, 5 PM and 8 PM; on Sunday, June 4 at 8 AM and 7
PM; on Monday, June 5 at 10 AM and 3 PM; on Tuesday, June 6 at 8 PM;
and on Thursday, June 8 at 8:30 AM and noon. The multi-Platinum-selling
singer filmed the show when he was in Sydney back in February in between
his concerts in Hawaii and New Zealand. CMC is owned and operated by
Foxtel Networks.
McCreery released the fan-favorite “Five More Minutes” on May 5 where it
quickly became the No. 2 single on iTunes. The song is the Hot Shot
Debut on the Billboard Country Airplay chart this week, already
has nearly 1.5 million streams at Spotify and won the Rare Country Opry
Moment of the Year Award for a live performance video on the Grand Ole
Opry’s YouTube channel that has received more than 2.8 million views.
McCreery wrote “Five More Minutes” with Frank Rogers and Monty Criswell
just a couple of weeks after the passing of his grandfather who served
as inspiration for the tune. The song is available for purchase at iTunes, Amazon and wherever digital music is sold.
McCreery made history in 2011 as both the first country artist and the
youngest male artist of any genre to debut his first studio album, the
Platinum-certified Clear as Day, at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 album chart. He has gone on to see all three of his albums debut at No. 1 on a Billboard
album chart, with current sales nearing 3 million copies. He’s earned
one Gold single and three Platinum singles and achieved two Top Ten hits
with “Feelin’ It” and “See You Tonight.” The latter song earned
McCreery both his first BMI Award for writing one of the Top 50 Country
Songs of 2015 and his first Music Row No. 1 Challenge Coin. He
was named the ACM New Artist of the Year Award in 2011, won the CMT
Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year (“The Trouble with
Girls”) in 2012; and American Country Awards for new Artist of the Year
in 2011 and Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2013. In 2016, McCreery
released his first book, Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream. He
is writing songs and working on a new album in between concert dates.
