American Idol winner Scotty McCreery will perform at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m., Vision Entertainment Group announced last week.

Tickets are $39.50 and $45. Tickets can be purchased at sandseventcenter.com, the Event Center box office, Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets or by phone at 800-745-3000.

Another "Idol" winner - Phillip Phillips - also has a Sands concert scheduled.

Born and raised in North Carolina, McCreery’s Southern roots shined as he belted out songs from country legends like Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt throughout the 10^th season of "American Idol." He became the youngest male winner and the only country male artist to win the "American Idol" competition.

Upon winning, McCreery released his coronation song, “I Love You This Big,” which became a Top 15 hit and earned him the honor of having the highest chart debut for a new artist since 1984.
