With another recent RIAA certification under his belt, the most first-week adds at country radio (120) of his career for his latest single “Cab in a Solo,” and on the heels of celebrating a milestone 30th birthday yesterday, Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery is ready to kick 2024 off with a bang.

Having spent almost half his life in the spotlight making country music, the North Carolina native continues to push himself creatively as well as personally and is set to launch the next chapter in his career with his headlining Cab in a Solo Tour. Named after his current single of the same name, McCreery will be joined by Anne Wilson as direct support as well as Greylan James and Noah Hicks on select dates. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off at Hobart Arena in Troy, OH on Jan. 26, 2024.

“I’m on the road year ‘round, but I always love putting together specific tours and I think next year’s Cab in a Solo Tour is gonna be one of my favorites,” said McCreery. “Happy to have Anne Wilson join us on the road – she’s a great singer. Depending on the city, either Greylan James or Noah Hicks will be opening up the show and they’re both fantastic performers. And who knows, maybe I’ll share a few songs from my upcoming new album! I’m looking forward to it!”
