Scotty McCreery Is Instilling A Love For Country Music In The Next Generation
Former American Idol champion and recent Grand Ole Opry member Scotty McCreery is passing on his love for country music to his son.
Scotty married his wife Gabi in 2018, and the pair welcomed a baby boy, Merrick Avery McCreery, in October 2022. Their son’s name is steeped in meaning—Merrick comes from his maternal grandfather, and Avery honors Avery County, which Scotty and Gabi call home
The “Five More Minutes” singer regularly shares videos of life with his son, who goes by Avery. From golf practice to singalongs in the car, the father-son duo is developing a close bond that is heartwarming to see.
Scotty has also found musical inspiration in fatherhood, releasing songs like “Porch” and “Love Like This,” which were written with his young son in mind.
Avery McCreery Sings George Strait
In an adorable video shared on social media, Scotty and Avery are in what appears to be a home recording studio. With his sweet little voice, the toddler sings:
“Excuse me, but I think you’ve got my chair.”
Keen country music fans will recognize that this is the opening line of George Strait’s 1985 hit, “The Chair.” The song went to #1 on both the US and Canadian country charts and was certified platinum by the RIAA. Additionally, CMT ranked “The Chair” as #24 on their Top 100 Country Songs of All Time list.
The video clearly shows that Avery has been exposed to the classics. Scotty himself recalls listening to Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Conway Twitty as a child.
He asks his son, “Who sings that song?”
Avery answers definitively, “George Strait.“
