Scotty McCreery Capitol Concert

  SCOTTY McCREERY DELIVERS POWERFUL PERFORMANCE AT “NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT” ON PBS
 
Country Singer Meets Tuskegee Airmen Backstage on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, DC
 
 
May 29, 2017 – Washington, DC -- During “The National Memorial Day Concert,” which aired live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington DC on Sunday May 28 on PBS, country music entertainer Scotty McCreery took the stage and brought the crowd to tears with his powerful performance of “The Dash.” The song was written by Kyle Jacobs and Preston Brust and is featured on McCreery’s second studio album, See You Tonight. During the performance, a video ran featuring footage of SFC Lewis Clark Walton, who was killed in action during the Vietnam War but whose remains weren’t found and returned home until 36 years later. Walton’s widow and adult children were seated in the audience, visibly moved as McCreery sang. You can watch McCreery’s performance at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9vTSpEdzTY .  A fitting song for Memorial Day, “The Dash” is about the line between the birth and death dates on a tombstone and how that short line represents a person’s life and legacy. As the chorus states, “It's always too soon, It’s always too fast, There'll never come a day that you don't want 'em back, It ain't about the numbers chiseled in concrete, it's how they lived their lives in the dash between.”

Nashville, Tenn. (May 9, 2017) – Just weeks away from the kickoff of their groundbreaking THE SMOOTH TOUR 2017, Country mega stars FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE have now rounded out their headline trek’s already stellar lineup with three new supporting artists.
Joining THE SMOOTH TOUR 2017 on select dates are rising stars MORGAN WALLEN, RYAN HURD and RUSSELL DICKERSON (full schedule below). They’ll fire up massive crowds each night before a genre-busting cast of fellow stars take the stage, including FGL, Hip-Hop icon NELLY and breakout Country talent CHRIS LANE.
Wallen’s debut single, “The Way I Talk,” has just entered Country radio’s Top 30, while Hurd and Dickerson recently turned heads on Thomas Rhett’s HOME TEAM TOUR and with attention-grabbing debut EPs.
Pop idols BACKSTREET BOYS will also be featured on THE SMOOTH TOUR 2017 in three historic stadium concerts – Boston (July 7), Minneapolis (July 29) and Chicago (August 12) – FGL’s first-ever headlining stadium shows.
Meanwhile, FGL’s Country dominance continues as they've been nominated in three categories for the 2017 CMT MUSIC AWARDS: Video of the Year ("H.O.L.Y."), Duo Video of the Year ("H.O.L.Y."), and Collaborative Video of the Year ("May We All" featuring Tim McGraw). Voting is now open on CMT.com. The RIAA also recently presented them with four new sales certifications. Current single “God, Your Mama, And Me” is now GOLD-certified for moving over 500,000 units, while “Confession” and “May We All” (featuring Tim McGraw) have both reached PLATINUM status for crossing 1 million units. Likewise, the 2016 smash “H.O.L.Y.” has gone 3X PLATINUM, bringing the duo’s total number of tracks sold to over 29 million worldwide.
On May 17, FGL will perform at the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation’s 8th annual Catwalk for a Cause fundraiser. Featuring a James Bond theme and a guest list of NASCAR stars, the night raises money for the fight against childhood and ovarian cancers and will celebrate 15 “Catwalk Heroes” aged 3 – 17 who have beaten or continue to battle the disease. Culminating in a fashion-show style event, each honoree will be escorted down the runway by NASCAR drivers like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Danica Patrick, Joey Logano, and Truex Jr. More information can be found at martintruexjrfoundation.org.
