SAMSON —It’s off to Hollywood for the Samson teen whose musical talent earned him a “golden ticket” to the next level of televised 'American Idol' singing competition.
All traveled from Samson, a Geneva County town with a population of 1,842, to show their support. He appeared on the seventh season of the ABC television show. This season’s competition premiered in mid-February after thousands of aspiring singers who applied were narrowed down to the select few who will compete for a recording contract.It’s also time for the show to double its pace to two shows a week. Starting March 31, new episodes will air on ABC at 7 p.m. on Sundays and Mondays.
A Kinston High School junior and the quarterback on the Bulldogs football team said he was “in shock and nervous” about the audition and worried the whole day about whether he would remember the lyrics and chords. He had even left his guitar pick at home but when he realized that he had a guitar pick stamp in the truck he fashioned a guitar pick out of an old Walmart gift card.
