McCreery launches road trips

Wednesday, August 7, 2013 – Scotty McCreery's Weekend Road Trip Tour 2013 is happening again this fall.

"To have a sell-out as a new artist is really amazing for me," said McCreery. "To have people want to come out and see our show means a lot. When you hear it is a sell-out, it hypes you up even more. We couldn't be happier with the way it is going. It's 90 high-energy minutes of new material and country classics combined with video, lights and fan interaction."

McCreery co-wrote his current single, See You Tonight, which is climbing the charts. He is in the studio now with Frank Rogers (Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Trace Adkins) finishing his sophomore studio album. McCreery is also beginning his sophomore year at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.

With an unabashed contemporary bent, aw shucks demeanor and flannel shirt, he was portrayed as a caricature of the genre on an SNL spoof 2013s "See You Tonight" was designed to market him as a more mature artist and to buck the stereotype. ...
CD review - Seasons Change "Boys from Back Home" is Scotty McCreery's amalgamation of Kenny Chesney's "I Go Back" and "Boys of Fall," which even borrows words from each hit song to create something attempting to be new. It's not new. Instead, it sounds more like songwriting by committee, relying upon radio listener demographics. Many of these songs were created to sound immediately familiar to mainstream ears. They will. This doesn't mean they're good, though, let alone meaningful. ...
CD review - See You Tonight Scotty McCreery's third release, "See You Tonight" is designed to market the season 10 American Idol champ as a more mature artist.

But in the end, he proves that his wheelhouse remains fun contemporary songs driven by his boy next door charm.
