Scotty McCreery to Become First Country Artist to Host Virtual Concert Via Online Gaming Platform

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | April 15, 2020

Scotty McCreery will present a virtual concert via Club Cooee, an online chat community where members create avatars and interact socially. Club Cooee will host Scotty—transformed into a 3D avatar—in concert for a limited time over two weekends on April 24–26 and May 1–3.

“In this unsettling time where everyone has to be physically isolated because of COVID-19, it’s great to find a fun way to bring people together for some entertainment in the virtual world of Club Cooee,” said Scotty. “I never thought I’d become a game avatar, but I’m always up for trying something new. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Club Cooee!”

Club Cooee is available for free on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Once installed, the user will select a starter 3D avatar and nickname and then be taken to the app’s main dashboard where they will find Scotty-branded buttons. During the event, there will also be a special “Live Now!” button so users can directly join the virtual concert.

Scotty will be the first musical artist to perform in Club Cooee and the first country music artist ever to host a virtual concert in any gaming world.
