Country singer Dylan Scott is set to perform at Scheels Arena in Fargo on Saturday night, bringing a string of hits that have resonated with fans across the United States. Since his debut in 2013 with “Makin’ This Boy Go Crazy,” Scott has steadily risen through the ranks of country music, achieving notable success with four number one singles on the US Country Airplay chart.
Scott’s journey in music has been marked by careful and deliberate releases, with only ten singles since 2015. Despite the limited output, each song has made an impact, including his chart-topping hits “My Girl” in 2016, “New Truck” in 2021, and “Can’t Have Mine (Find You a Girl)” in 2022. Other popular tracks include “Hooked,” “Nobody,” “Boys Back Home,” and “This Town’s Been Too Good to Us.” The concert starts at 19:30 with supporting acts from Josh Ross and Zach John King. Tickets are priced between $25 and $70.15.
