Last night a roaring cheer was heard across Otsego and Chenango counties as a third local talent has made it to Hollywood on American IdolEthan Harris (Garrattsville), joins Kaitlyn Jackson (Norwich) and Kari Crimmins (SUNY Oneonta Graduate) on the American Idol journey.  Looking forward to talking with Ethan this morning.

Ethan has only been singing/performing for three years now and has a lot of a great experiences under his belt in short amount of time including winning our 2011 Jr Idol contest, co-writing and recording his first album, and performing in Nashville to name a very few.  One thing I admire about this young man is that he is genuine.  He is the same person, on and off the stage.  He is so likable and I think that will translate on American Idol.

Watch his American Idol audition and the interview after his audition:
