Scotty McCreery

Mercury Nashville artist Scotty McCreery is gearing up to hit the road again this year. After winning the 10th season of "American Idol," McCreery has opened with some of Country music's biggest names including Brad Paisley and The Band Perry. This year, McCreery will find out how it feels to be a headliner.

"I've been lucky enough to play a lot of great cities over the last year with Brad Paisley and some other great country artists," explains McCreery. "This time I get to play some new places with a show that's all my own. I can't wait for my fans to see what we've lined up for them on my Weekend Roadtrip Tour 2013."

The show will feature Scotty's well-known songs such as "The Trouble With Girls," "Water Tower Town" and "I Love You This Big," as well as some classic cover songs and new music from his forthcoming album (to be released later this fall). The name "Weekend Roadtrip Tour" was conceived from Scotty's hectic schedule of balancing school with work. "Right now, I'm balancing my music career with my second semester at North Carolina State University. I go to school early in the week and get to play my music every weekend. So, calling this tour the Weekend Roadtrip Tour just made sense. Plus, what college student doesn't love a good roadtrip?" he says.

McCreery has invited Black River Entertainment artist Sarah Darling to open for him throughout the tour which kicks off at the Sands Event Center in Bethlehem, PA on Valentine's Day, Thursday, February 14th.
