NEW YORK, NY — (May 3, 2016) — Country singer Scotty McCreery returned to NBC's "Today" this morning to celebrate today's release of his first book, Go Big Or Go Home: The Journey Toward The Dream, which is now available in bookstores everywhere. McCreery talked with hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb about writing the book, which he refers to as a "travelogue" because he shares stories from his life's journey. The ACM and CMT Award-winning entertainer also performed his Platinum-certified Top 10 hit song "See You Tonight," which earned him a BMI Award for writing one of the Top 50 Country Songs of 2015.
While on set, McCreery teamed up with actor John O'Hurley (best known as the character J. Peterman on "Seinfeld") to dramatically recite pop song lyrics for Gifford and Kotb to guess the song title.

McCreery launched his 14 city book tour at Bookends in Ridgefield, New Jersey this evening.
