The video makes its broadcast premiere on CMT
Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery follows the release of boisterous new track “Can’t Pass the Bar” with the official music video for his current radio single, “Cab in a Solo.” The video made its broadcast premiere on CMT earlier this morning (Tues, Jan 23rd) and will be played on the Paramount billboard in New York City’s Times Square at noon ET. It will premiere online later today at 5 pm ET on YouTube. McCreery will join for a special live chat during the video premiere.
The new video, directed by McCreery’s frequent collaborator, Austin, TX-based filmmaker Jeff Ray, gives fans a glimpse behind the scenes showing the country superstar in the studio with son Avery, who makes his music video debut, and co-producer Frank Rogers while recording “Cab in a Solo.” It also showcases McCreery performing in front of 92,003 fans at the University of Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE last year following the Ladies Volleyball Team’s winning match against Omaha, which set a new women’s sporting event attendance world record.
“This video showcases both the quieter parts of my life like having my son Avery with me in the studio with Frank, as well as the wilder parts of my life such as performing in front of the biggest live audience of my career,” states McCreery. “I am looking forward to hearing what the fans think after they watch it premiere on CMT and YouTube.”
Written by McCreery, Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, “Cab in a Solo” is his fastest-moving single ever, garnering the most first-week adds at country radio of his career and continuing to move quickly up the charts, currently in the Top 20 on both Mediabase at No. 17 and Billboard at No. 20.
The new video follows a blockbuster 2023 for the country crooner. He was inducted to the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame, joining previously inducted artists like Eric Church, Charlie Daniels, Andy Griffith, Ronnie Milsap, Thelonious Monk, Nina Simone, James Taylor, Randy Travis and more. And in December, one of his country music heroes, Garth Brooks, invited him to join the Grand Ole Opry, an honor that McCreery has dreamed about since he was a kid.
McCreery launches his 2024 headlining Cab in a Solo Tour this Friday with a sold-out show at Hobart Arena in Troy, OH, where he 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 trek across the US with stops in Atlanta, Boston, Chattanooga, Durham, Philadelphia, Syracuse and more.
