"American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery has been added to the list of performers for the second annual Country for Kids benefit concert at the Durham Performing Arts Center.
The concert is sponsored by country music radio station 94.7 WQDR, with proceeds going to the North Carolina Children's Hospital.
Other performers for the Nov. 30 concert include Brantley Gilbert, David Nail, Jerrod Niemann and Jason Michael Carroll.
Tickets start at $50 through the DPAC box office or Ticketmaster. There also are a limited number of special VIP packages available for $200 through the N.C. Children's Promise charity. The VIP pass gets you a seat in the first eight rows and access to a "meet and greet" reception before the show.
Scotty is now performing on the "American Idol Top 11" tour. He has a show tonight in Reading, Pa., then plays in Toronto on Friday and Rochester, N.Y., on Saturday. According to the "American Idol" website, the group's last scheduled show of the summer takes place in Quezon City, Philippines, on Sept. 20.
