| Gracin helped to
generate leads at a performance sponsored by recruiters earlier
this week. |
RECRUITING STATION ALBANY, N.Y. -- In support of 1st Marine
Corps District's recruitment effort, American Idol alumnus, Lance
Cpl. Josh Gracin continued his Northeastern tour last Friday in Poughkeepsie,
N.Y.
As a guest co-host of "Kicks Country 94.3 FM morning show with Captain
Buzz and Brandi', Gracin spent two hours on-air speaking about the Marine
Corps, and serenading the community with songs from his self-titled debut
album.
"I had a great time on the show, it was a lot of fun," said Gracin. "Everyone
was so down-to-earth, and friendly. I couldn't believe how interested
they were in the Marine Corps, and it's traditions," continued the twenty-three
year-old, Michigan native.
Gracin's two-hour appearance on the show generated 3,800 dollars of free
advertising for the Marine Corps. According to 1st MCD Public Affairs
Officer, Capt John C. Caldwell, he hopes by the end of July, that Gracin's
appearances will have produced over 100,000 thousand dollars in value-added
media success for the command.
Gracins schedule in the upcoming weeks include opening at many large country
festivals, live television and radio appearances, charity venues, and
sporting events.
