Mark you calendars for March 23, 2003 and Greensboro N.C. Why you ask? because “American Idol” finalist Chris Daughtry will perform a free concert in downtown 
Greensboro.
Greensboro Coliseum officials organized the show as a prelude to the NCAA women’s basketball tournament games on March 24 and 26, and they hope the concert helps the city’s bid to host the 2012 women’s Final Four.
Between 6,000 and 7,000 people are expected to attend the concert.
Over the past year, Daughtry, 27, has gone from a local musician based in nearby McLeansville to a fourth-place “Idol” finish and a top-selling album.
Daughtry’s band, called Daughtry, released their self-titled debut album Nov. 21. “Daughtry,” released on Sony BMG’s RCA label, has sold nearly 1.3 million copies and hit No. 1 this week on the strength of its first single, “It’s Not Over.”
While many observers billed Daughtry as the favourite to win “Idol” last year, he was voted off News Corp.’s Fox network talent show a few weeks before its finale. Southern soul singer Taylor Hicks took the competition’s top award - a US$1 million recording contract.
The cost for the concert wasn’t released, and organizers said it’s in flux. They expect to recoup most of the cost through concession sales and sponsorships.
