With so much on offer, new singles are dropping from the Hixtape project each week. Small Town On It featuring Chris Lane and Scotty McCreery previously took its turn in the spotlight.
Scotty McCreery was catapulted to fame when he won the tenth season of American Idol in 2011. Since then, he’s cemented his country cred. He’s all set to thrill country fans this side of the Atlantic when he returns to the Country To Country (C2C) festival in London, Glasgow and Dublin in March 2022.
