American Idol’s Josh Gracin To Tour Persian Gulf
If
you remember season 2 of American Idol, you will
remember
Josh Gracin. The former Marine had a good voice, sweet
smile
and has done relatively well in the Country music sector.
He recently announced that he would be touring
the Persian
Gulf this summer in support of our troops overseas.
Josh will leave his wife and three children at
home in Nashville to
play shows and spend time with the troops
stationed throughout the Persian Gulf. The overseas tour is
sponsored by the Armed Forces MWR (Morale, Welfare & Recreation)
division and Stars for Stripes.
“It means a lot to me to do this,” Josh said. “As a former Marine it’s important for me to give back to our men and women in uniform. I hope these shows can help them to escape for just a moment and bring a little piece of home to our folks serving overseas.”
The former “American Idol” contestant’s self-titled debut CD is certified gold by the RIAA and has sold over 680,000 copies. The first single from the project, “I Want To Live,” was also his first hit, climbing to No. 4 on the country charts. Josh’s second single, “Nothin’ To Lose,” was his first No. 1 record. His third single “Stay With Me (Brass Bed)” was also a Top 5 hit, giving him three consecutive Top 5 songs.
