Scotty McCreery Becomes First Country Music Artist to Present Virtual Concert in "Club Cooee"
Later this month, singer/songwriter Scotty McCreery will break new ground when he becomes the first country music artist to present a virtual concert in an online gaming world. Club Cooee, the online free 3D metaverse and social network with millions of users from around the world, will host McCreery (transformed into an avatar for the game) in concert for a limited time over two consecutive weekends: April 24-26 and May 1-3.
“In this unsettling time where everyone has to be physically isolated because of COVID-19, it’s great to find a fun way to bring people together for some entertainment in the virtual world of Club Cooee,” said McCreery. “I never thought I’d become a game avatar, but I’m always up for trying something new. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Club Cooee!”
Club Cooee is available for free on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Fans should go to the Scotty landing page: https://en.clubcooee.com/
McCreery is both the first musical artist to perform in Club Cooee and the first country music artist ever to host a virtual concert in any gaming world. (Artists from other musical genres who have hosted virtual concerts in other gaming worlds include Alice in Chains, Blasterjaxx, Haley Kiyoko, KORN, Marshmello and Offspring).
"We are excited that Scotty McCreery will be performing in Club Cooee's premiere virtual concert,” said Alexander Jorias, CEO and Co-Founder of Club Cooee. “Club Cooee is a virtual party zone and hosting virtual concerts is a perfect fit for us. Our platform allows artists to present their music and engage with their audience in totally new ways. Our users will love it!"
“We are very excited to present the first country music virtual concert in gaming,” said Winston King, VP of Business Development for Epik who created the partnership with McCreery and Club Cooee. “Country music is an underserved music genre in mobile games, and we are excited to do many more.”

SCOTTY McCREERY’S “FIVE MORE MINUTES” MUSIC VIDEO HITS 100 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE
Video is One of Only Eight No. 1 Country Songs in the Last Two Years to Achieve 100 Million Views on YouTube
Scotty McCreery continues to reach new career milestones with his No. 1 song, “Five More Minutes.” Earlier this year the country music hitmaker celebrated his first Double Platinum Certification by the RIAA for the song. On the heels of that success, the music video for “Five More Minutes” has now garnered more than 100 million views on YouTube, making it one of only eight official music videos for country songs that have reached No. 1 on the Mediabase / Country Aircheck Country Singles Chart in the last two years to achieve this distinction.
The acclaimed music video for “Five More Minutes,” directed by filmmaker Jeff Ray, featured rare footage of McCreery growing up with family and friends. It went on to peak at No. 1 on both the CMT Hot 20 Countdown and the GAC Top 20 Countdown. Ray also directed McCreery’s videos for his second No. 1 hit “This is It” (Platinum-certified single nearing 60 million videos views on YouTube) and his current top 15 single “In Between.” In addition, Ray directed all three acoustic music videos from McCreery’s recent digital EP, The Soundcheck Sessions.
“Jeff Ray went through hundreds of hours of rare family footage and perfectly captured what 'Five More Minutes' was all about,” said McCreery. “I wanted the video to feel as intimate as the song that I wrote with Frank and Monty, and Jeff did an incredible job of presenting some very personal moments that visually gave the song a different dimension. When I saw what he did with the ‘Five More Minutes’ video, I knew I loved his creative vision and wanted him to direct all the music videos from the Seasons Change album.”
“Five More Minutes” was McCreery’s first No.1 hit on both Mediabase/Country Aircheck Country Singles Chart and Billboard Country Airplay Chart. He wrote it with Frank Rogers (who also produced the song) and Monty Criswell, and it was the lead single from his album Seasons Change, which debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart.
McCreery debuted the song on the Grand Ole Opry during CMA Music Festival in June 2016. The live video of the performance on the Opry’s YouTube Channel reached millions of viewers and went on to earn the North Carolina native the Rare Country Award for Opry Moment of the Year in December 2016. The song would go on to earn McCreery a BMI Award for writing One of BMI’s Top 50 Country Songs of the Year in 2018, the same year it was voted One of the Top Ten Songs We Wish We’d Written by the professional membership of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI).
