Since coming into the national spotlight in 2011 on American Idol, McCreery has quickly emerged as country music’s most successful new artist. His first studio album, Clear As Day, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country Albums charts, making him the youngest man in history to open at the top of the all-genre chart with a debut release.  

McCreery won New Artist of the Year at both the 2011 American Country Awards and the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards. McCreery was ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s list of Top New Country Artists for 2011 and also earned the No. 4 spot on Billboard’s 2012 List of the Top 21 Under 21. Scotty spent most of 2012 opening for Brad Paisley’s Virtual Reality Tour.

Tickets are currently on sale, with prices at $30, $40 and $50.
