    Scotty McCreery (Southern Belle video) OC: …excited about it. :36
    “This video was fun to make. We did it right here in town in Nashville and brought out the Belmont cheerleaders, Lipscomb, had some Nashville Predators girls come out and join us, had the Vanderbilt band come out and join us, so it was still just kind of college themed for me. It’s kind of the end of college days for me, so kind of reminiscent on that. But really, for me, it was showcasing the strong women — you talk about Southern Belles. Those girls doing all their cheerleading moves, flipping back and forth and tumbling and all that stuff. That’s insane to me to watch. I don’t know how they do it. So athletic, and I just wanted to showcase the strong ladies out there and the strong Southern Belles in the video, so it really came out great. I’m excited about it.”

  • SCOTTY McCREERY CHOSEN AS NASH COUNTRY WEEKLY’S COUNTRY’S SEXIEST MAN.

    Scotty McCreery was voted “Country’s Sexiest Man” by the readers of NASH Country Weekly. Scotty was up against such artists as Keith Urban, George Strait and many others. He says the honor is funny, but flattering at the same time.

    “It’s always funny, it’s always flattering to see the Sexiest anything, so Sexiest Male Country Music [is] pretty wild,” says the 22-year-old North Carolina native. “You know, for me, it’s always weird. I don’t think the Sexiest Man should be at the state fair eating Krispy Kreme burgers, but if that’s what they’re about, then I’m about it too.”

    Scotty’s latest single, “Southern Belle,” is making its way up the country charts.

    Scotty will release his very first book, Go Big Or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream on May 3rd.

  • SCOTTY McCREERY TOSSES OUT HIS THOUGHTS ON THE WORLD SERIES.

    Scotty McCreery is a huge baseball fan, having played the game in high school. He was a pitcher for Garner High School (North Carolina), even reaching the state finals. His favorite professional team, the Boston Red Sox, was eliminated in the run this year, so it’s the Kansas City Royals versus the New York Mets. While he doesn’t have a dog in the race, he’s still catching some plays during the World Series.

    “I don’t really have a dog in this fight, because my team is not in it, but the Mets were really good to me this year. I went to a few of their games so they’re kind of who I was going for,” says Scotty. “It looks like Kansas City’s kinda doing well right now, but we’ll find out. I was, AM, a fan of the Red Sox, so I found out in 2004 that anything’s possible – you can be down a few games and still come back to win it. So, we’ll see what happens.”

    The Royals are ahead in the series 2-0, and Game 3 of the World Series takes place Friday (October 30th).

    Scotty is making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “Southern Belle.”

I mean, it was way too big for any one person, but he would love carving. He’s kind of an artsy guy. He was a great drawer and stuff, and he would carve the most terrifying, vicious looking, scary pumpkin you’d ever seen in your life, and it would be massive.

Step it up.’ Spend the extra dollar on a bag, you know?” TJ: “A house when we were growing up used to give out whole candy bars. It was the best. You were like, ‘That house – that’s the honey hole of candy.’” JOHN: “I love it, and I love like at the end, like three or four days after Halloween you would see what candy was left, and it was always like those crappy cheap candies, and they would just go stale.” [laughs]

We did what was called a Hallelujah Party instead, and you still dress up and still get all the candy, but  you go to the high school gym. You play games, you just do, like cornhole and the dunking booth and all kinds of stuff and win prizes, but it was nothing ever scary. I think they had like rules about what outfits you could and couldn’t wear. But now I just love freaking myself out and going to, I love going to haunted houses and haunted cornfields.”

We drove down from Boone, North Carolina. I had a bunch of friends that went to University of North Carolina, and we didn’t have costumes and didn’t realize until we were on the way that we had to have costumes. So, we stopped at a costume place in Greensboro, North Carolina. It’s Halloween, so there’s a run on everything and couldn’t find anything. And we end up getting sent around, driving  around town. We end up finding this hole in the wall place, but they had the full costume, Sesame Street outfits. The real deal. The real ones [with] feathers and fur. We were Elmo, Cookie Monster and I was Big Bird, and the Big Bird was the actual Big Bird. It’s about 7-foot-4, and yiou looked out of the body and then you had these straps that went on since the head was a lot higher. There’s a lot of beer involved in Franklin Street, so we get down there and as the night went on, my straps broke, so the head would pivot. And so, I would be walking one way and the head would be facing the other, and it just became this funny…I didn’t know the head was on backwards. I had no idea. I see out of the body, so I’m just kinda walking around and people were talking to my ass-end. [laughs] The whole time peiople’d come up and start talking and go, ‘Hey, turn around.’ And I’d turn around, and they’d go, ‘No turn around.’ It was a mess. That year, there was no other Big Bird on Franklin Street.”

  • SCOTTY McCREERY WILL RECEIVE AWARD FOR VOCAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS FROM DUKE VOICE CARE CENTER.

    Raleigh, NC — (October 23, 2015) — Multi-Platinum-selling country music artist and Garner, NC-native Scotty McCreery will receive the 2016 Patrick D. Kenan Award for Vocal Health and Wellness at Duke Voice Care Center’s 10th Annual World Voice Day Celebration Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at the Cary Arts Center in Cary, NC.

    McCreery is one of country music’s hottest rising stars. In just four short years, he has sold more than 2.5 million albums, earned Platinum and Gold album certifications, achieved Top Ten hits and multiple awards, and performed concerts around the nation. Even with his vocally demanding schedule, his distinctive deep voice remains strong and true, in large part due to his mindful attention to healthy vocal habits. “My voice is my livelihood, so taking care of it is essential,” said McCreery. “I make sure to stay as healthy as I can and not put any strain on my voice…well, unless I’m at an NC State sporting event! I also consult with my doctors regularly to make sure my vocal cords remain in great condition.” McCreery will share more secrets for keeping voices healthy at the event, which begins at 7 PM. The audience will also be treated to his captivating baritone as he performs a brief acoustic set.

    World Voice Day is an international day of celebration of the human voice. Singers, actors, teachers and preachers need healthy voices to do their jobs, but we all need our voices to connect us to the world. According to Ingo Titze, renowned voice scientist and President of the Pan-American Vocology Association, “Voice carries not only informational messages, but it carries our feelings, our identity, our personality, and our state of health. It even gives clues about our confidence and benevolence. Texting can do little of that. Let’s keep vocalizing.” Duke Voice Care Center has led the Triangle’s observation of World Voice Day since 2007.

    Duke Voice Care Center is a specialty practice in the Division of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences at Duke Medicine. The Duke Voice Care team includes laryngologists (ENT doctors with special training in caring for voices), speech-language pathologists and singing voice rehabilitation specialists (speech-language pathologists who are also performers and voice teachers) who work collaboratively to evaluate and treat voice problems. Duke Voice Care Center also hosts a number of educational programs throughout the year including presentations and workshops. DVCC’s annual World Voice Day Celebration is usually their biggest vocal health event of the year.

    In 2010, Duke Voice Care Center announced the establishment of the Patrick D. Kenan Award for Vocal Health and Wellness, to be presented annually to individuals whose lives and careers increase awareness of the importance of the human voice. The award pays tribute to the legacy of a dynamic and ambitious Duke physician and performer, Patrick D. Kenan. Designated as a Duke Center for Excellence in 2006, Duke Voice Care Center was formed in large part as a result of Dr. Kenan’s vision for vocal health. Country music sensation McCreery will be the eighth recipient of the award. “We look forward to honoring the work of this extraordinary young singer,” says Leda Scearce, Director of DVCC’s Performing Voice Program. Previous PDK Award honorees have been Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Nnenna Freelon, international opera star bass-baritone Simon Estes, National Public Radio broadcaster Carl Kasell, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Tift Merritt, the Triangle-based band Delta Rae, and Durham’s all-male chorus 100 Men In Black.

    Each year at World Voice Day, the vocal health experts of Duke Voice Care Center help people learn about how the voice works, how people can keep their voices healthy and strong, and what to do if they have a voice problem. “Voices are the foundation of who we are. Our voices serve to inspire us, contributing to our beliefs and values, influencing the collective history of the human race. We honor our voices on World Voice Day and the unique contribution of everyone’s voice signature,” says Duke Voice Care Center Director David Witsell, MD, MHS. In addition to McCreery’s appearance, DVCC’s 2016 World Voice Day Celebration will feature educational learning sessions, demonstrations, games, prizes and a vocal health fair.

    “I have many blessings in my life and I don’t need ‘things’ to celebrate my birthday,” said McCreery. “But I miss my friend Sharon, who would have had a birthday just yesterday if she was still with us. I’d love to see my fans honor her and continue her great work with St. Jude.”

    Eaves, a music industry veteran and longtime member of St. Jude’s Music Industry Advisory Council, had created the Southern Belles team to participate in the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer in Nashville on Sept. 26 in McCreery’s honor. The team raised $4,000 by the time of the event, and the donor link remains open through November.

    McCreery will host a live Twitter Party this Sunday, Oct. 11 at 10:09 PM/ET (for his birthdate 10-09) for 22 minutes (in recognition of being 22) where he will chat with fans. The ACM and CMT Award winner will also share stories from his birthday celebration, a two-day trip with his best friends to play golf and support North Carolina State in their football game against Virginia Tech.

    One of country music’s most followed artists on social media, McCreery is frequently on Twitter and Facebook and has been known to re-tweet and re-post when his followers use those channels to request his current single “Southern Belle” with their local radio stations. In-between sporting events this weekend, he will be looking for as many fan tweets and posts to favor and re-tweet as possible. “Southern Belle,” which has received more than one million streams on Spotify, continues to move up the country singles charts and can be purchased online at http://umgn.us/southernbelle. It is the first single from his eagerly awaited new album due out in 2016.
