Of all the stars launched by American Idol, few have stayed as true to themselves as Crystal Bowersox, the season nine runner-up. Everything about her -- from her hardscrabble upbringing to her folk-rock-country tunes -- suggests an earthiness and honesty that was rarely seen on the Idol stage. This self-taught songstress has gone on to release two studio albums, performed alongside everyone from Harry Connick Jr. to B.B. King, and is a true road warrior, with dates at respected venues and clubs across the country set for 2016, including this one at Fort Lauderdale's Broward Center.
