McCreery and his wife, Gabi, welcomed their first child, Merrick Avery McCreery, in October. In a recent conversation with Music Mayhem, the American Idol season 10 winner shared his excitement for bringing his infant son out on the road with him.
“A lot to look forward to going into 2023,” McCreery shared of the new year and coming tour. “[We’re] bringing a baby on the road and getting him used to the lifestyle. Like it or not, [I’m] going to be a road daddy for a while, so hopefully he loves it.”
McCreery’s headlining tour kicks off this month with a January 20 show at Sugar Creek Casino in Hinton, Oklahoma. The 22-date trek will crisscross the country, seeing the singer make stops in more than a dozen states.
