Daughtry hard at work

Chris Daughtry performs Thursday at TRL on MTV.

Simon Cowell said he should have won last season’s show. Chris Daughtry certainly is taking the Clay Aiken trail — except for the style of music, of course — and now the up-and-coming rocker has announced a free concert.

The March 23 date has been set in Greensboro, N.C., where officials at the Greensboro Coliseum have organized the event to lead up to the March 24 start of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

Even though he finished fourth on last season of “Idol,” he currently is getting a ton of radio play with his first single, “It’s Not Over,” from his debut CD. That CD, by the way, has sold more than 1.3 million copies.

Daughtry seems to be staying busy keeping his name out there, too. He stopped by MTV’s TRL on Thursday, and he continues to keep promoting and promoting his music with a tour that includes these dates through February:

Sunday, Jan. 28: House of Blues, Anaheim, Calif.
Monday, Jan. 29: Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach, Calif.
Thursday, Feb. 1: The El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles
Sunday, Feb. 4: Slim’s, San Francisco, Calif.
Tuesday, Feb. 6: Neumo’s Crystal Ball and Reading Room, Seattle, Wash.
Wednesday, Feb. 7: Berbati’s Pan, Portland, Ore.
Thursday, Feb. 8: The Boardwalk, Orangevale, Calif.
Monday, Feb. 12: Clubhouse, Tempe, Ariz.
Tuesday, Feb. 13: The Rock, Tucson, Ariz.
Wednesday, Feb. 14: Launchpad, Albuquerque, N.M.
Friday, Feb. 16: Old Kelly’s, Abilene, Texas
Saturday, Feb. 17: Dos Amigos Cantina, Odessa, Texas
Sunday, Feb. 18: Jake’s Sports Cafe, Lubbock, Texas
Monday, Feb. 19: Gypsy Tea Room, Dallas, Texas
Wednesday, Feb. 21: The Meridian/Red Room, Houston, Texas
Thursday, Feb. 22: White Rabbit, San Antonio, Texas
Friday, Feb. 23: Stubb’s Bar-B-Q, Austin, Texas
Sunday, Feb. 25: The Other Side, Tulsa, Okla.
Tuesday, Feb. 27: The Black Sheep, Colorado Springs, Colo.
Wednesday, Feb. 28: Bluebird Theatre, Denver, Colo.

I guess this proves Daughtry is working hard to make the most of his “Idol” success.

    Rich, you clearly know nothing about Austin, and Stubbs. Come down to Texas sometime and see what Austin music (and Stubbs) is all about. Then, you’ll say, “Wow, Stubbs BBQ”, except you won’t be sarcastic.

    You are right on Stan…I was at Stubbs BBQ for the Daughtry concert and it was awesome!!!! I knew it would be great, but Chris really blew my mind. The crowd was so into it and he didn’t disappoint at all. So, Rich, watch what you say!!!
