Born and raised in Westland Michigan, Former Marine and American Idol II finalist returned to his home state to perform at the State Theatre in Bay City Thursday night. His performance was powerful and well received!

Josh has opened shows for performers such as Blake Shelton, Sugarland, Brooks & Dunn, Chris Cagle, Brad Paisley, and Big & Rich!

Josh Gracin's new CD, We Weren't Crazy allows audiences to take a more personal look inside the life of the "American Idol" season 2 finalist and former Marine.

"This album is more me," says Gracin. "I was able to focus on making the album I wanted to make. For the first album, I was still in the service, so I had to fly in and out of Nashville to record when I could. This time around it had my undivided attention."

Josh worked with producers Marty Williams and Brett James on the CD's eleven tracks.

Josh Gracin's newest single "We Weren't Crazy" was selected as one of People magazine's "Best New Singles" for the week!

Gracin is admittedly most excited about his newest single, the title track, "We Weren't Crazy." The autobiographical song was written by Gracin, Tony Lopacinski, and Bobby Pinson about Gracin's personal journey from childhood to raising children and having a family of his own.

"This time around I got to dig in and share my stories as a songwriter. I'm so proud of how this song turned out," said Gracin.
