Hi Jonny...Daughtry is performing tonight as you probably know. I met their guitarist Josh Steely at a gig I was playing in Atlanta a few months back and he said that Chris Daughtry is the greatest guy anyone in the world could ever hope to meet, and that when their band was signed he gave everyone a piece of the action (very uncommon in the business). He also told me that before he was on American Idol (and that hardly anyone knows this) the only place Chris had ever lived was in a trailer park.
He felt very lucky to have been chosen to be a part of the band. He's a rich man because of it. Thanks for the thread.
