North Carolina native, Scotty McCreery is a big fan of North Carolina State basketball, so he has managed to swap places with Lee Brice for Saturday night (4/6) in order to watch his team take on the Purdue Boilermakers in the NCAA tournament’s Final Four.
Scotty and Lee are scheduled to perform at the San Diego Boots in the Park music festival Saturday. Scotty was suppose to go on at 6pm, but managed to talk Lee into trading places with him.
Scotty had this to say,
“The schedule (for the festival) had me going on at 6:00 in San Diego. Game time in Phoenix is 3:00. Couldn’t make that work. But I got to thinking and I was like, “Man, Lee is, Lee’s on at 7:35” I think is what the schedule said. And I was like, “If there’s any chance we could switch, you know, I could do it.” So I hit Lee up, and I said, “Lee, you can totally say no.” You know he deserves that spot. He’s been doing it longer, has all the hits, you name it. I said, “But man, is there any chance you’d be willing to switch spots with me and go on at 6:00 and I’ll go on at 7:30 so I can get to Phoenix for the Final Four game?” And, and Lee, just the class act that he is, he looked at me and he said, “Scottie, if it’s important to you, it’s important to me. It’s not even an ask. Let’s do it.” So, so, me and Lee are gonna switch spots. He’s gonna go on at 6:00, I’m gonna go on at like 7:45, and I’ll be in Phoenix for the game at 3:00 to cheer on the Wolf Pack baby!”
