Scotty McCreery to Headline at Benefit Concert in Lufkin, Texas

About Good For Country

Over the past three years, UBank has hosted a family-friendly music event at their Lufkin location on South First Street. Thousands of fans have brought their lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy performances by entertainers such as Drake White, Kameron Marlowe, Dave Finley, Chris Colston, and Chad Cooke Band.

The Good for Country Concert Series was born out of a post-covid need for in-person entertainment and hunger relief in the East Texas area. Through this platform, UBank has been able to donate roughly $30,000 to the East Texas Food Bank.

Going Big in 2023

UBank's 4th annual Good For Country Concert is swinging for the bleachers in 2023. The event will be moved from the bank's location to the George H. Henderson, Jr. Expo Center on the North Loop in Lufkin.

Why the move? Well, there just wouldn't be enough room in the bank's parking lot to accommodate the crowd that will show up for one of the hottest entertainers in country music. SCOTTY MCCREERY will be headlining this year's Good For Country Concert on Saturday, March 4.

Scotty McCreery

Scotty McCreery’s current album Same Truck contains his No. 1 RIAA Gold-certified singles “You Time” and “Damn Strait,” and his current single “It Matters to Her.” "Damn Strait" was one of the most played and downloaded songs of the past year.

He achieved new heights by earning three back-to-back No. 1 hits from his last album Seasons Change, the RIAA Gold-certified project which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Album chart: the RIAA Double Platinum-certified “Five More Minutes,” the RIAA Platinum-certified “This Is It,” which stayed at the top of the charts for two weeks, and RIAA Gold-certified “In Between.” 

McCreery rose to worldwide stardom after winning American Idol in 2012. He and his wife, Gabi, recently welcomed their first baby, Avery. This Lufkin concert will be a bit of a homecoming for a member of his band. Nacogdoches native, Spence Peppard, is the lead guitarist in Scotty McCreery's band.

The Tickets Are Only How Much!!??
