Daughtry News: Free Concert, TV Promos and Hangin’ Out With Billy Bob…

If you’re in Greensboro, NC, March 23rd, you might be able to catch Daughtry in concert—for free.

The concert at Greenboro Coliseum is a prelude to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament March 24th-26th. Greensboro is hoping the concert will help its bid for the 2012 Women’s Final Four. They’re expecting 6000-7000 people (I think that might be a little conservative.). Chris is from nearby McLeansville.

In the meantime, Chris is making new friends, including Billy Bob Thornton. Chris says he hangs out at Thornton’s house every time he’s in LA.

And in case you’re wondering, Chris says he is watching “Idol” this year and admits he would do it all again because he was truly able to be himself with everything—“except those Ford commercials”…

Daughtry’s song, “What I Want,” is being featured in the CBS promos for “NCIS” and “The Unit.” But Chris says he hopes the band’s second single is “Home,” because it would be a good tribute to the troops. Chris may get his wish if early reports are correct that “Home” will be the song used for “Idol” contestants’ goodbye videos…
