American Idol Winner Noah Thompson to Perform at the Kentucky State Fair

Published on: July 29, 2022

Noah Thompson will open for John Michael Montgomery and Walker Montgomery

The Kentucky State fair announced Noah Thompson, the winner of the 20th season of American Idol who hails from Louisa, Kentucky, is joining the lineup of the Texas Roadhouse Concert Series. He will perform on Wednesday, August 24 opening for fellow Kentuckians John Michael Montgomery and Walker Montgomery.

Thompson was introduced to music at a young age by his father who taught him how to play guitar. As a teenager, he began posting covers of country songs to social media and continued to pursue music while working in construction. A friend encouraged him to audition for American Idol.
