Dylan Scott lit up The Pinnacle on Friday night (Sept. 26) on his “Easy Does It Tour” with a high-energy, heartfelt performance filled with hits and nostalgia.

After Zach John King and George Birge warmed up the crowd, Scott’s set began with a simulation of flipping through the radio, with snippets of songs spanning country, pop, R&B, rock and more. Each song encompassed the theme of ‘having a good time,’ leading Scott perfectly into “Good Times Go By Too Fast” to kick off the night with the energy and pyrotechnics that set the tone for the evening.

The hits started right off the bat with “Hooked,” getting the crowd rocking before singing his massive hit “New Truck.”

“I’ll tell ya this,” Scott said to the crowd. “I’ve been in this town 15 years, and what I’m seeing here tonight is validating everything. Cause I can tell you that this town’s been way to good to us,” leading into his hit “This Town’s Been Too Good To Us.”

Afterwards, he fired into “Country Till I Die,” before grabbing his guitar to deliver a gritty cover of Hank Williams Jr.’s “A Country Boy Can Survive.” One of nights more interactive moments came next when Scott wheeled out a cart of red solo cups and laughed, “I’ll be the bartender tonight!” before jumping into “I’ll Be a Bartender” while handing out red solo cups.

Keeping the energy perfectly balanced, Scott then slowed things down with “What He’ll Never Have,” returning to his guitar. He followed with “Till I Can’t, I Will.” Then, after an intimate story time with the crowd about his roots and his family, Scott sat down at the piano and played “I Owe You One.”

Picking things back up, he went straight into “Nobody,” a massive singalong that had couples locking arms. “Boys Back Home” followed, carrying into “Livin’ My Best Life,” a full-blown party anthem that turned The Pinnacle into one big celebration.

Up next was Scott’s time to honor “the greatest time in country music there ever will be” with a ’90s country medley featuring “Fishin’ in the Dark,” “I Like It, I Love It,” “Check Yes or No,” and “When You Say Nothing at All.”

As the night began to wind down, Scott brought out “Can’t Have Mine (Find You a Girl).” With the spotlight glowing and emotions running high, Scott closed the night with his breakout hit, “My Girl.” The entire venue swayed and sang along, creating a perfect, unifying end to a night that blended southern charm, powerful vocals and a whole lot of heart.

Scott will continue his “Easy Does It Tour” next weekend in Salem, VA (Oct. 2), Moon Township, PA (Oct. 3), and Schenectady, NY (Oct. 4).
