Scotty McCreery Postpones Shows

Scotty McCreery is in the midst of his headlining tour, which is now set to resume on Saturday in Orlando, Florida. 

Later this spring, the North Carolina native will join Kane Brown’s The High Road Tour as direct support. Recently, McCreery joined Brown and their fellow tour mates, Mitchell Tenpenny, Ashley Cooke and DASHA on a new version of Brown’s song “Says I Can” to help promote the tour. 

He also teamed up with GRAMMY and Dove Award winning Christian artist, Jason Crabb, to release a new version of his song “Red Letter Blueprint” from his latest album, Rise & Fall. They teamed up to debut the collaborative track at the Grand Ole Opry on February 11.

“Jason’s voice is just out of this world powerful,” McCreery shared. “When he sings, you can feel the emotion in every note and the belief in every word. I’m a fan, and it’s an honor to have him sing this song with me.”

“I’m so excited to be joining my friend Scotty on such an incredible song as ‘Red Letter Blueprint,’” Crabb added. “His talent is beyond compare, and he’s one of the greatest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. It’s an honor to be singing alongside him.”

Written by McCreery, Derek George, Brent Anderson, Jeremy Bussey, and Monty Criswell, “Red Letter Blueprint” is a heartfelt ballad that embodies faith and resilience. 

“Where can you go when you ain’t gettin’ nowhere?/ Every turn is a dead end road/ The rain starts to fall and you’re so lost out there/ Really only one place I know/ When your whole world falls to pieces/ And you don’t know how to build it back/ There’s a red letter blueprint in King James black,” they sing.
