Scotty McCreery is heading out soon for the “You Time Tour” which kicks off with a festival date in Fresno, Calif., June 18 and runs into October in a variety of venue types and markets, as well as dates supporting Old Dominion at baseball stadiums.
“This last year I was glad to get more ‘you time’ with my wife Gabi than ever before, as well as a lot of ‘you time’ with some of my favorite songwriters via zoom as we created new songs for the upcoming album,” McCreery says in the announcement. “And now that we’re able to tour again, I cannot wait to get back on the road and have some ‘you time’ with fans this summer. This song’s message and timing really hit home for me and I hope we keep a few things like the intention of the time we spent with others this last year as we look ahead. I, for one, will never take going to a show or playing music live for fans for granted after this last year without it.”
McCreery and his soothing baritone vocal cords remained busy in 2020, with more than 130 online performances, including his Sept. 4 “Live From The Ryman” livestream that featured a full band and the first to welcome back any audience to the Nashville venue. He also did an acoustic, stripped-down lvestream Dec. 2 livestream from his home state of North Carolina, at Raleigh’s Lincoln Theater.
He Released “You Time” last September as the first single from his upcoming new album, which is expected in the fall.
McCreery will also join Old Dominion as direct support on select “Live from the Ballpark Tour” dates.
“I’m excited to reunite with Old Dominion for their Live from the Ballpark Tour,” McCreery says in the announcement, having toured with the band in 2019. “These guys are not only amazing performers but great people, and this tour will be a blast. Plus, having been a pitcher on my high school baseball team, performing in these ball parks will be like coming home.”
