John will share the stage with legendary artists such as Bill Anderson, the award-winning group Old Crow Medicine Show, and Mark Wills. Before this, he also announced his first post-Idol public appearance at the Cajun Country Jam over Memorial Day Weekend. John expressed his determination and faith, saying:
“I once felt like I’d never be good enough, but I’ve proven myself wrong. Being runner-up is just the first step in what God has planned for me, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
