Homecoming gala: Scotty mccreery
SCOTTY MCCREERY Friday
Newlin Hall, Norton Center for the Arts
Country music superstar Scotty McCreery has had a blindingly rapid rise to stardom since he became American Idol's youngest male winner at age 17, as well as the show’s first country male winner in 2011. The Garner, NC native quickly emerged as one of country music’s most successful new artists after his debut album topped the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country charts, earning him a spot in the Guinness World Records for being the youngest male in history to score a no.1 album on the all-genre chart with a debut release. The hot streak continued as Scotty went on to win New Artist of the Year at both the 2011 American Country Awards and the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards. He also picked up the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for “The Trouble With girls” at the 2012 CMT Music Awards. McCreery was ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s list of Top New Country Artists in 2011 and also ranked No. 4 on Billboard’s list of “21 Under 21: Music’s Hottest Minors 2012,” for his second consecutive year.
