UNL concert features Dustin Lynch, Dylan Scott

The 2014 UNL Homecoming concert will feature Dustin Lynch with special-guest Dylan Scott. The show will begin at 8 p.m. Sept. 25 on the East Campus Mall.

Admission is free for all UNL students, faculty, staff and alumni. In case of inclement weather, the concert will be relocated to the Lancaster Events Center.

Since beginning his musical career, Dustin Lynch has been recognized as one of the most successful young artists in country music. Known for his classic country sensibilities, Lynch brings traditional style to the contemporary pop-country music scene in an exciting fusion of old and new.

Lynch’s first major hit, “Cowboys and Angels,” skyrocketed to number one on Billboards Top Country Hits after its release in 2012 and quickly gained him fame and notoriety.

Shortly after, his edgy hit, “She Cranks My Tractor,” was ranked in the Country Top 20 Countdown and landed him a spot as the opener for Keith Urban on his “Light the Fuse” tour.

In the past three years alone, Lynch has performed at the CMT Awards, MTV Awards and countless other concerts and benefits. His next album, “Where It’s At,” is set to release this fall.

Dylan Scott is a young, up-and-coming singer who has dreamed of performing on the country stage since he was a young boy. His gravely baritone stands out and puts him in the same vocal category as so many of the country “greats.”

A native of Louisiana, Scott won the annual Colgate County Competition and later released his debut single “Makin’ This Boy Go Crazy.”

The University Program Council, KX 96.9, the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, ASUN student government, Burr-Fedde Association of Resident Members and Residence Hall Association are presenting this event.
