Creed Surprises Nashville Crowd With Country Star for Special Performance of “Weathered”

Having taken some time off over the years, Creed continues to share their music with fans. Although the group hasnโ€™t released a new album since Full Circle in 2009, the band currently helms the โ€˜99 tour. Embracing the culture of the 1990s, the band offered fans a trip into the past and journey through their discography that featured hit songs like โ€œDonโ€™t Stop Dancingโ€, โ€œWith Arms Wide Openโ€, and โ€œOne Last Breath.โ€ Recently, Creed traveled To Nashville for a concert. And given the rich history the city has with country music, the band decided to welcome a rising country star to the stage.ย 

On the verge of performing โ€œWeatheredโ€, Creedโ€™s Scott Stapp took a moment to address the crowd. He said, โ€œIt wouldn’t be a Nashville show unless we had some surprises, right? I’m gonna say this because it sounds funny โ€” me and this next artist slipped into each other’s DMs and we started talking and we became kinda friends. I said hey man, when you’re in town, wanna jam? He said, ‘Man, I would love to.’” After giving some context, Stapp said, โ€œSo, hey, letโ€™s give it up for Hardy!โ€
