McCreery won the 10th season of American Idol in May 2011 and has continued to soar with the help of enthusiastic fans and Billboard Top 20 songs, including “I Love You This Big” and “The Trouble with Girls.” In just a few years, he’s became one of country’s hottest new stars, with album sales topping 1.6 million, including a platinum-selling debut album, Clear As Day, that made Billboard history and helped him win several new artist awards. It was followed with highly regarded albums, See You Tonight and Christmas with Scotty McCreery, which yielded more hit songs and accolades.
Bradbery, the 17-year-old singing sensation and recent winner of Season 4 of NBC’s The Voice, opens for McCreery. She was the youngest contestant to come in first place on the hit television show. With her self-titled debut album, Danielle Bradbery, she is currently on tour with country heartthrob Hunter Hayes and Dan + Shay on the We’re Not Invisible Tour.
