July 8 - 10:00 PM @ UScellular Connection Stage

 

THE BEST ARTISTS. A LAKEFRONT BACKDROP. NEED WE SAY MORE?

As if being included with your Summerfest admission isn’t reason enough to hang here, the UScellular® Connection Stage provides a stunning view of Lake Michigan and downtown Milwaukee; a 25-foot LED screen – the largest screen on the grounds — and benches with charging amenities along the lakefront. Kinda bougie, huh? Along with iHeart Radio, the UScellular Connection Stage features the best artists from all genres of music.

Scotty McCreery

Scotty McCreery has come a long way since auditioning for "American Idol" — in Milwaukee, no less.

In 2011, the country singer won the 10th season of "Idol," and has enjoyed success ever since. McCreery, now 29, boasts five albums, including a certified-gold Christmas album.

Although he had to compete with other well-attended shows on the last night of Summerfest 2023, McCreery drew a sizable, mixed-ages crowd Saturday night at the UScellular Connection Stage.

The clean-cut singer, dressed in jeans and a purple button-down shirt and backed by a band, gave a heartfelt performance. He embraced his sensitive side and showcased his smooth baritone vocals with songs like "In Between," "Small Town Story" and "Falling for a Stranger."

During the positive-vibes tune "Feel Good Summer Song," McCreery called out the "Wisconsin ladies" in the audience, and continued to show his love for Brew City.

He mentioned meeting his wife at a bar "while drinking a Spotted Cow," and talked about visiting the Milwaukee Art Museum while auditioning for "American Idol."

"Nobody parties like Milwaukee parties. Y'all have a good time!" said McCreery, who was met with exuberant cheers.

I question the 2 comments highlighted ...... I think the song was Feelin It ..and have NEVER heard the story of Scotty meeting Gabi at at bar 🤣 (pretty sure parents in NC donot  allow 5 year olds into a bar)

I think the writer had a few too many Millers by the time Scotty came on.  Yep, the song was Feelin It.....and maybe joked about taking Gabi to a bar in Milwaukee some day for a spotted cow.  More likely, she was getting her artists mixed up.   Or it was a joke with the punchline being he met her at bar drinking a Spotted Cow...when they were in kindergarten.

Here's another (fuller) review of Scotty's show:

 

https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertainment/festivals/summerfest/2021/09/18/black-pumas-scotty-mccreery-flaming-lips-sheila-e-cam-best-worst-summerfest-day-3-weekend-3/8318095002/

 

And it's likely the reviewer is more a rock fan than country overall, so the great write-up is even more impressive.

 

And btw, this site includes a wonderful review of Cam's set.  Glad other people recognize her talent.

 

I'd paste the reviews themselves....but it's difficult with the format/layout of the reveiws.  Well worth the scroll.

 I am glad to see he added more songs back into his performance .. I loved the Seasons Change Album .

 

Good to see CAM getting some recognition also
