8. Scotty McCreery 

Last year McCreery was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and was invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry by Garth Brooks. despite first impression, turns out to be a pretty solid from perhaps the most underrated artist in Nashville these days. He is an amazing artist. The way he sings is just so sweet it leaves you wanting more every time. I really enjoyed seeing how much Scotty engages with the crowd; He isn’t shy, he has an amazing stage presence and powerful voice!
