Danny Gokey.
Only Kris Allen and Adam Lambert were judged better than Gokey last year on American Idol Season 8.
If he were appearing this season he would probably be a runaway winner.
But what a difference a few months can make. In May he was singing for a few million viewers on AI. On March 19th he’ll be performing for about a 100 lucky ticket recipients at the Chrome Lotus, a new bar in downtown Santa Rosa.
The only way to get tickets is to enter a contest being run by Froggy 92.9 FM.
We’ll have more on the contest and Gokey’s appearance in coming days, but below is a link to the contest and a video of Gokey’s video “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me”, a song he sang last week on this year’s AI…

Stay tuned.
