Fresh off two consecutive Platinum-certified No. 1 hits, the ACM, BMI and CMT Award-winning Scotty McCreery will perform at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. on Wednesday, March 11, 2020.
This will be the Triple Tigers recording artist’s first concert at the
“Mother Church” in six years. Special guests for this show will be
singer/songwriter Heather Morgan and rising star Adam Doleac.
Tickets go on sale this Thursday, Oct. 3, at 10:00 am Central at Ryman.com and Ticketmaster.com, with the Scotty McCreery Fan Club Pre-Sale happening tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 10:00 am Central, and the Ryman Pre-Sale taking place on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 10:00 am Central.
“When you play in Nashville, you’ve got to be on your A-Game, and when
you play the Ryman Auditorium, you have to give it everything you’ve
got,” said an excited McCreery. “I cannot wait to be back on that stage
where my heroes have performed. I’ve been looking forward to this for a
while now. We’re going to have a fun night.”
McCreery is currently in the Mediabase Top 40 and rising with his song “In Between,” the third single from his album Seasons Change. He co-wrote all 11 songs on the album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard
Top Country Albums chart and achieved one of the strongest first weeks
for a country music album in the last year, moving over 40,000 albums in
the first week alone. The first single from the album was the
Platinum-certified No. 1 hit “Five More Minutes,” the touching tune
which People Magazine calls “an emotional walk down memory
lane” and which the professional songwriting membership of the Nashville
Songwriters Association International (NSAI) named one of the “Top 10
Songs We Wish We’d Written” in 2018. “This is It,” the album’s second
Platinum-certified single which spent two weeks at No. 1, was inspired
by the North Carolina native’s engagement to his high school sweetheart
(and now-wife) Gabi and has quickly become a wedding song standard.
McCreery will travel to Europe for the first time near the end of
October for two sold-out shows in London, England (Oct. 26 and 28) as
well as shows in Manchester, England (Oct. 27) and both Berlin and
Cologne, Germany (Oct. 23 and 24). When he returns stateside, the
singer/songwriter will be on tour with Old Dominion in November. The
grandson of two military veterans, McCreery will host the 2019
iHeartCountry “One Night for Our Military” Veteran’s Day radio special
in November, where he will also perform along with artists Jason Aldean
and Kelsea Ballerini.
