Scotty McCreery already announced he was spending much of the fall on the road, but now he’ll be joined by a rising star for several of the dates. The  American Idol alum announces that Dylan Schneider will hit the road with him for five shows, beginning on October 14 in Harrisburg, North Carolina.

Schneider echoed McCreery’s excitement, posting, “Hitting the road with [Scotty McCreery] for some shows this fall. Tickets available on my website! Where else should I go on tour!?”

McCreery is currently enjoying a Top 40 hit with his latest single, “Cab In A Solo.” The song, the debut single from his next album, was the most-added song the week it was released, and continues its rapid ascent up the charts..

The father of one is eager to play his hit singles, like “Five More Minutes,” “Damn Strai,” “It Matters To Her” and more while on the road, while also giving fans a hint of what they can expect from his next project.

“For me, it’s kind of fun to play some songs that might be recorded, might not be recorded,” McCreery told Indiana’s Journal & Courier. “Playing off the crowd, seeing what they think, seeing how their reaction is. It kind of gives us the gauge of what we should record and what the next album should look like. It doesn’t happen every year, because we’re not always making an album, but we’re doing that this year. So it kind of gets to be fun out there doing that.”

While McCreery hasn’t revealed which songs will be on his next set of tunes, he does say he will have songs about his son, Avery, who will turn one in October.

“There’s definitely gonna be some baby songs, as you could guess,” McCreery told Taste of Country. “My music for sure has kind of leaned a little bit into that autobiographical stuff. Something that I learned about music is how alike we all are, rather than different. When I talk about my life, I could be talking about thousands of other people’s lives, and they relate to it, too. So there’ll be a lot of life stuff. Just about not taking things for granted, and that’s where I’m at right now — just appreciating this new stage of life, and new fatherhood.”

Schneider also has a hit single, “She Ain’t Missin’ You,” out now. Find all of Schneder’s music and upcoming shows at DylanSchneiderMusic.com.

McCreery will be inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in October, and has been announced as one of the performers for this year’s Opry Country Christmas. Find music and tour dates at ScottyMcCreery.com.
