Roots rocker and American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox will kick off the 2011-2012 season of the Performing Arts Center at Dominican University on Saturday, September 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Lund Auditorium.
Bowersox’s show at Dominican is the only Chicago-area stop during the fall on the Ohio native’s first national tour.
The singer’s musical ties to Chicago are strong, having moved to the city at the age of 17 to pursue a music career. Since her star turn in Hollywood, she has captivated audiences worldwide with her bluesy voice and original country tunes. Her debut album, Farmer’s Daughter, debuted at number 28 on the Billboard Charts and has sold the most copies of all the competitors from her season of American Idol.
