The North Carolina native has earned one Triple Platinum, five Platinum and three Gold singles; one Platinum and two Gold albums; won the 10th season of "American Idol" in 2011, and was named the ACM New Artist of the Year in 2011. He released his first book in 2016, "Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream." In the last two years, he has executive produced two Hallmark holiday movies based on his Triple-Platinum No.1 hit "Five More Minutes."
This will not be McCreery's first performance in Memorial Stadium, as he sang the National Anthem before Nebraska football's 56-7 win over Northwestern on Oct. 2, 2021.
McCreery wrapped up his 2023 Damn Strait Tour in late April, hitting 22 cities across America. McCreery is currently touring with Brooks & Dunn for their 2023 Reboot Tour.
