McCreery is revving up for his first headlining tour in four years, and as much as he loves talking about that, there are two words that are even sweeter on his lips: 'my wife. I’m really enjoying saying that,' the newlywed, with a wide grin, tells PEOPLE.”  Read more here:  https://people.com/country/scotty-mccreery-talks-adjusting-married-life-wife-gabi/

McCreery’s 2018 album Seasons Change marked a career milestone for the 24-year-old artist. Its leading, RIAA-Platinum certified single “Five More Minutes” earned McCreery his first No. 1 song. The second and current single “This Is It” can be heard on airwaves across the country, while the music video featuring footage from his recent wedding surpassed 4 million views in just 20 days. The album, released on Triple Tigers Records, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart with more than 40,000 album sold in its first week, making it one of the top-selling country album debut weeks of the year. Seasons Change was McCreery’s fourth consecutive album to debut at No. 1 on a Billboard Album chart. It also received praise from the Tennessean, Billboard, Huffington Post and Rolling Stone, including being named to their list of the 25 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2018 So Far.

Unlike his previous releases, Seasons Change showcases McCreery’s songwriting talents on all 11 tracks, featuring collaborations with Jessi Alexander (Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton), Monty Criswell (Eric Church, Darius Rucker, George Strait), David Lee Murphy (Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen) and more. With themes such as losing loved ones, moving out on his own, falling in love and coming of age, Seasons Change is a reflective and honest narrative of McCreery’s experience navigating life in his early twenties. The album was produced by Frank Rogers, Derek Wells and Aaron Eshuis.
 
Allen is currently finalizing his first full-length album, due out later this year via Stoney Creek Records. Last October, Allen released his self-titled debut EP which earned him recognition as an “artist to watch in 2018” by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pandora, Sounds Like Nashville and more, in addition to a spot in the The Bobby Bones Show’s Class of 2018. The personable singer, which fans have come to know via his “Jimmie Allen All In" series, is currently climbing the charts on Country radio with his Top 30 debut single “Best Shot.”

A Richardson, TX native, Morgan has written songs for Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley and Maren Morris, and she's penned more than a dozen album cuts for Brett Eldredge, including the No. 1, RIAA-Gold certified singles “Lose My Mind” and “Beat of the Music," which earned the BMI Country Song of the Year Award in 2015. Morgan's solo-penned “Your Hurricane” premieres on digital streaming services today, and her debut album Borrowed Heart, produced by Paul Moak (John Paul White, Marc Broussard, Caitlyn Smith), bows October 5.

Tomorrow morning (Friday, Aug. 17), multiplatinum-selling country music singer/songwriterScotty McCreery will perform on "Fox & Friends’ All-American Summer Concert Series." The show, which airs live on the FOX News Network is filmed in front of a live audience in the heart of New York City. McCreery will perform during the 8:00 AM EST hour.
 
The Triple Tigers recording artist will perform his current single “This is It,” which is currently rising up the country music charts. Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis, the song relates how the North Carolina native proposed to his long-time sweetheart (and now wife) Gabi Dugal McCreery. The heartfelt music video, which has earned more than 4 million views in less than 20 days, features footage from their June wedding. “This is It” is the second single from McCreery’s album Seasons Change, which debuted at No. 1 on the BillboardCountry Albums Chart after selling more than 40,000 albums the week it was released, making it one of the top-selling first weeks for a country album this year. It follows on the success of the first single, the Platinum-certified “Five More Minutes,” which became McCreery’s first-ever No. 1 hit. 
 

McCreery Wins $25,000 For St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Sunday, Aug. 5, country music singer/songwriter Scotty McCreery shared the spotlight with his family on ABC’s “Celebrity Family Feud.” Together, the team won $25,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“My family and I were honored to play ‘Celebrity Family Feud’ on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said McCreery. “St. Jude provides innovative medical treatments for kids with catastrophic diseases, and they do it for free. I’ve visited the hospital and met some of the patients. It is truly a place of healing.”

Scotty was joined by his wife, Gabi Dugal McCreery; father-in-law, Merrick (Tre) Dugal III; father, Mike McCreery; and grandmother, Paquita McCreery. Facing off against Chris Kattan of “Saturday Night Live” and his family, Team McCreery provided hilarious answers and made memories together with host, Steve Harvey.
 
The episode was taped in the Spring prior to McCreery and Dugal’s June wedding. The couple invited fans into their special day, debuting the music video for his current single “This Is It” in partnership withThe Knot. The song is the second single off of McCreery’s 2018 album, Seasons Change, and the highly-anticipated follow up to his RIAA-certified Platinum No. 1 single “Five More Minutes.” The video received more than two million views in its first 11 days of release.

The star-studded line-up continues to grow for the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) annual Nashville Songwriter Awards presented by City National Bank. Country megastar and five-time CMA ‘Male Vocalist of the Year’ Blake Shelton, along with eleven-time GRAMMY nominated singer-songwriter Jamey Johnson and ACM, BMI, and CMT Award winning artist Scotty McCreery will participate in the evening dedicated to songwriters, joining previously confirmed artists Bill Anderson, Chris Janson, and LANCO.

Outstanding supporters of the songwriting community will also be recognized as Cary Sherman, Chairman and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), will receive the Stephen Foster Award in honor of his generous support for, and dedication to, songwriters, the music industry, and NSAI, and Congressman Doug Collins will be honored the NSAI’s White Hat Award, given by the NSAI Board of Directors to any individual from the public/political sector who has significantly served the interests of the songwriting community and is therefore recognized as "one of the good guys" (who wear white hats).
