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.

McCreery has now sold more than 4 million albums and achieved five consecutive No.1 hits with “Damn Strait,” “You Time,” “In Between,” “This is It,” and ‘Five More Minutes.” His current single “Cab in a Solo,” which McCreery co-wrote, is currently topping the charts!

The North Carolina native has earned one Triple Platinum, five Platinum and four Gold singles; one Platinum and two Gold albums; 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”).

“Scotty McCreery is one of the artists that we receive the most requests for”” says Fair Manager Ron Jeffries. “We can’t wait to roll out the Central States Fair red carpet, and anticipate a great crowd for this Friday night experience.”
