Five Fast Facts About Dylan Scott
Since 2013, Dylan Scott has been pushing out singles for Curb Records (his first single "Makin' This Boy Go Crazy" charted for 10 weeks, peaking at number 54), but it wasn't until 2017 that Scott really broke through with "My Girl," a lighthearted yet very personal song written about his wife. "My Girl" hit number one and then was certified as platinum. All Scott needed was that one stellar chart placer for the rest of the chips to fall into place. His current single, "Hooked" was actually an unreleased bonus track on Scott's self-titled 2016 debut album and reached number two on the country music charts.
Scott has had a couple other songs make it on the country music charts including "Crazy Over Me" which peaked at number 14 in September of 2015, and "Love Yourself" landed at 37 in February of 2016.
While the past few years have been quite the whirlwind for Scott, 2019 is going to be even more momentous as Scott recently announced that he's setting out on a headlining 'Nothing to Do Town' tour which will kick off in January. However, before he hits the road for his national tour, Scott will perform right here in Broome County at Touch of Texas on Upper Front Street in Binghamton on Friday, November 9th. Tickets to Scott's show are on sale now and can be bought at the Touch of Texas box office during business hours, by calling Touch of Texas during normal business hours at 607-771-1000, or online.

Juggling Marriage and Life on the Road
Even though Scott and his wife have known each other for most of their lives and they trust and support each other, Scott told Fox News that there's one area in their marriage that handles with as much respect as he can, and that is the subject of other females who appear in his music videos. Scott will not allow anything too romantic in his videos to happen between him and his female co-stars out of respect for his wife.
