ABOUT SCOTTY
Scotty McCreery has been a household name for nearly half his life, ever since making 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 Albums chart. With his
forthcoming album Rise and Fall set for release May 10, featuring his sixth No. 1 single “Cab in a Solo”
and 12 additional tracks, McCreery explores classic themes of heartbreak, rowdy nights, nostalgia, faith,
newfound joy, fatherhood, and enduring love, and through it all, felt comfortable being himself, resulting
in a project full of electrified twang, rich baritone vocals and insightful storytelling.
The 30-year-old has sold more than 4 million albums and achieved 5 consecutive No.1 hits: the RIAA
Platinum-certified “Damn Strait,” the RIAA Gold certified “You Time,” the RIAA Gold certified “In
Between,” the RIAA Platinum certified “This is It,” and the RIAA Triple Platinum certified ‘Five More
Minutes.” The North Carolina native has earned one Triple Platinum, five Platinum and four Gold singles;
one Platinum and two Gold albums; won the 10th season of “American Idol” in 2011 at age 17; was named
the ACM New Artist of the Year in 2011; won the CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year
(“The Trouble with Girls”) in 2012; and BMI Awards for writing One of the Top 50 Country Songs of the
Year five times (in 2015 for “See You Tonight,” in 2018 for “Five More Minutes,” in 2019 for “This is It,”
in 2021 for “In Between,” and in 2022 for “You Time”). He was awarded Pandora Billionaire status in
2021 in recognition of his music achieving more than one billion streams on Pandora. His song “Five
More Minutes” inspired two popular holiday movies which aired on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries
Network: “Five More Minutes” in 2021 and “Five More Minutes: Moments Like These” in 2022. He
released his first book Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream in 2016. His most recent
album is Same Truck: The Deluxe Album. This fall McCreery was inducted into the North Carolina Music
Hall of Fame and last year was invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry by Garth Brooks.
McCreery was just welcomed into the Opry family on April 20 by his heroes, Josh Turner and Randy
Travis. The singer/songwriter married his high school sweetheart Gabi in 2018, and the couple had their
first son Avery in October 2022.
ABOUT CHAYCE
Three years after becoming the only artist to win American Idol singing his own songs, 19
Recordings/Wheelhouse Records/BMG country artist Chayce Beckham is living proof of his belief that
“You can’t tell someone how to write a song.” Currently nominated at this year’s CMT Music Awards for
Breakthrough Male Video of the Year for his #1, PLATINUM hit single “23,” the fiery singer-songwriter
laid out a course only he could follow, and today remains even more dedicated to his unique creative
compass. A California native schooled on tough times and a mix of country, rock, hip hop and beyond,
Beckham started a habit of heart-on-his-sleeve songwriting after some hard times when he felt he had
nothing left – and when combined with his warm vocal rasp on “23,” that drive helped him charm the
nation on Idol‘s 19th season in 2021. With more than 406 million streams and counting, the bluesy and
brutally honest anthem debuted at #1 on both iTunes’ Country and All Genre singles charts, and now leads
Beckham’s first album, Bad for Me – available now – as the emerging star finds his stride. Co-writing
nine of 13 songs (three solo), the project shows Beckham opening his soul like most would never dare and
embracing a timeless country-rock sound defined by fiddles, steel guitar, and plenty of against-the-grain
attitude. With dusky shades of heroes like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson, the set
aims to reinforce next-big-thing predictions from CMT, Amazon Music, MusicRowand more, while
Beckham hits the road with Luke Bryan this summer, Parker McCollum this fall and his own headlining
2024 “Bad for Me” Tour.
