The Kentucky State fair announced American Idol winner Noah Thompson of Louisa is joining the lineup of the Texas Roadhouse Concert Series. He will perform Wednesday, Aug. 24, opening for fellow Kentuckians John Michael Montgomery and Walker Montgomery.

Thompson was introduced to music at a young age by his father, who taught him how to play guitar. As a teenager, he began posting covers of country songs to social media and continued to pursue music while working in construction. A friend encouraged him to audition for American Idol. During the show, he built a fan base with his humble charm and country vocal style.

His most recent single, a cover of Rihanna’s song “Stay,” was released July 29.
