Clay Aiken Performs On PBS

Clay Aiken via last.fm

Clay Aiken had his first PBS special recently, it was filmed live in his hometown Raleigh, North Carolina in March. Tried and True Live  aired last night  in some local PBS stations including my local station, WTCI .

Guests performing with Clay included Ruben Studdard and Linda Eder. Clay performed many classic hits from his Tried and True cd that was just released this summer, plus more from the 60's through the 90's.  The current Timeless Tour with Ruben covers some of these songs, but Clay will have a tour in 2011 to promote his latest CD.

               A touching moment in the concert was when Clay honored one of his teachers. Clay had studied at UNC-Greensboro to become a special education teacher.  

This show not only gives fans a chance to see Clay's singing talent, but also gives nonfans(NJU-Not Just Us) a chance to discover Clay Aiken and the other performers. It also gives the younger viewer the chance to discover some of the classic songs, such as Crying and Moon River.
