Houston: Scotty McCreery at 713 Music Hall

Scotty McCreery brings his traditional country sound to 713 Music Hall in Houston on October 2, with the show starting at 8 PM. McCreery first became a household name in 2011 as the winner of American Idol’s tenth season, and has spent the years since building a durable career centered on classic, hat-and-boots country rather than crossover pop.

McCreery’s deep, distinctive baritone set him apart from the start, and his debut album “Clear as Day” made him the youngest male artist ever to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. He has since built a steady run of country radio hits, including “Five More Minutes,” “This Is It,” and “In Between,” the latter two both reaching number one on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. Now more than a decade into his career, McCreery has settled into a reliable niche as a traditionalist voice in a genre increasingly pulled toward pop and hip-hop crossovers.
