Tim McGraw welcomes a new talent to his Standing Room Only tour: his nephew Timothy Wayne, whom he calls “the real deal.”

The country music superstar announced the news in an Instagram post shared on June 20 along with a video in which he and Wayne sing Keith Whitley’s “Don’t Close Your Eyes.”

“He may be my nephew…but he’s the real deal!!” McGraw wrote in the caption. “Just listen to him sing this song. I’m excited to have @timothywaynemusic opening this final set of shows!”

Wayne took note of the comments, writing, “Can’t wait! I’m beyond blessed and honored to do this. I’m going to give it my all and more! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼.”

McGraw’s nephew shared his first song “God Made a Country Boy” in May.

Wayne took to Instagram at the time and said the moment “doesn’t feel real.”
