Scotty McCreery brought his three month old son Avery McCreery out on stage at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium in Knoxville, Tennessee last night (2/2/23). It was Avery's first full concert and the crowd loved him.  McCreery was singing his version of John Michael Montgomery's "Be My Baby Tonight" when he left the stage during the musical interlude to bring Avery out and finish the song, singing "This is MY baby tonight!"
