Joining Dayne will be a special performance by season two American Idol semi-finalist and Broadway star Frenchie Davis.  The talented performer has appeared on Broadway in the musical RENT, the West coast tour of DreamGirls and starred with fellow American Idol alum Ruben Studdard in the hit Grammy nominated Broadway Musical revival of Ain't Misbehavin'.

Opening the evening will be Jake Simpson who twice (2003 and 2004) won the top honors in the Adult Singer category on CBS-TV's "Star Search" with his powerful high tenor voice and three-octave range.  He has performed on The Oprah Winfrey Show with his idol Stevie Wonder, toured with Jim Brickman, recorded vocals on American Idol finalist David Archuletta's albums and recently recorded various tracks with songwriter Desmond Child for Adam Lambert, another American Idol.
