Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Scotty McCreery has announced a Seasons Change tour, but also will be performing in Maryland twice before it begins.

That tour kicks off Nov. 29 at the House of Blues in Dallas and concludes Jan. 26 with a show in Westbury, N.Y.

Tickets go on sale Friday.

“Seasons Change” was released in March and debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200. It includes Scott’s number one hit “Five More Minutes” and also features his current single “This Is It.”

“This Is It” has climbed as high as number 34 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and reached a new peak of 42 this week on the country airplay chart.

The accompanying music video, featuring footage of his summer wedding to longtime girlfriend Gabí Dugal, has been viewed more than 5 million times.

The dates for the “Seasons Change” tour appear below, but keep on mind that Scotty also has dozens of show dates between now and then, including two stops in Maryland this fall.

He’ll be performing at the Great Frederick Fair on Sept. 20 and at the Harford Community College on Oct. 6. Tickets for those shows are already on sale.
