The Texas Back Porch is that special place where you go to relax in a rocking chair and let your mind wander...from the Guadalupe Mountains to the East Texas pines, from the South Texas prairies to the Gulf of Mexico, experiencing hill country breezes, longhorns, horses, armadillos, country music, and Tex-Mex foods, yet not forgetting the dreadful Texas heat, rattlesnakes, and everybody's awful Texas drawl. Yes, Texas is a vast state, from out of the rugged and romantic West, where the beautiful and the brutal strangely blend and they're all topics to talk about on the Texas Back Porch.

American Idol Top Ten Tour Visits Dallas in July

Many Joshua Ledet fans were shocked when the Louisiana lad was eliminated from American Idol competition May 17.  But no matter which of the the three had lost the chance to win, it would have been a shock to many, because all of them are so extremely talented, with their own huge fan base. 

However, each entertainer who made the top ten is a winner already.
Come summer, DeAndre Brackensick, Hollie Cavanagh, Colton Dixon, Heejun Han, Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez, Elise Testone, and Erika Van Pelt  will hop the tour buses for a grueling and exciting schedule of concert performances.

Each will earn an estimated $175,000 for the top ten tour this summer which visits 45 or so American cities beginning in Detroit in July and ending in Milwaukee in September.  Texas fans will have the opportunity to see their favorites perform in Dallas on July 29th.  And the exposure with American Idol gives these entertainer hopefuls a concrete opportunity to continue pursuing a career in show business.  Just look at Adam Lambert, and Lauren Alaina, both Idol "losers."  I, personally, look forward to seeing more of Joshua Ledet.
