Danny Gokey
Story Behind It
Recent “American Idol” alum and rising country star, Danny Gokey, evokes a strong sense of faith on his brightly colored birdhouse. “Believe” is on one side while “Love” is on the other and a Maya Angelou poetic verse is painted on the back side. Danny added his signature and his hand print to the roof of his house. It’s a one-of-a-kind, autographed piece of art and it goes to the highest bidder!The winner will also receive two tickets and two meet and greet passes to any Danny Gokey concert in 2010!

The City Paper (Nashville, TN): ‘American Idol’ contestant bringing heart to Metro schools
Former American Idol contestant Danny Gokey attributes much of his success in the music industry to his late wife, Sophia, who succumbed to congenital heart disease in 2008.
It was her love and support that encouraged him to audition for American Idol, and after her passing, he decided to create a living demonstration of her love.
His answer was the Sophia’s Heart Foundation, an outreach for children from ages 0-18, which will begin offering free after-school music programs in Nashville.
Sophia’s Heart is launching a Modern Community Choir that will unite young performers, teach them about music, introduce students to different cultures and provide after-school homework assistance.
To kick off the program, Gokey will visit Apollo and Kennedy middle schools Thursday to share his story. And, he might even sing a tune from new album, My Best Days, that was released last week.
The program, which will meet three days per week and offer free transportation, hopes to attract 20 students from each school.

Roughstock: Blake Shelton Leads Slate of New Releases to Album Sales Chart
By: Matt Bjorke
…
Danny Gokey was third. And even though he moved over 65,000 albums, his album was sold-out virtually everywhere which leads one to believe had there been more copies of My Best Days out in the market, he may have debuted higher than Blake Shelton and possibly would’ve passed Sade for the second slot on the Nielsen SoundScan Hot 200 charts. Gokey also managed to score the second highest Hot 200 debut, behind only Adam Lambert but ahead of winner Kris Allen and Alison Iraheta.

Billboard.com: Danny Gokey’s ‘Days’ Starts Strong
Season eight American Idol finalist Danny Gokey claims the best first-week sales showing on Country Albums by a rookie male country act in 18 years, and the best opening week digital sum for any country newcomer, as “My Best Days” opens at No. 3 on the chart with 65,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album also opens at No. 4 on The Billboard 200.
Gokey’s start is the best debut for a male country solo artist since Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Some Gave All” blew in with 90,000 copies in June 1992, and bests fellow “Idol” alum Bucky Covington’s May 2007 self-titled debut, which started with 61,000 units.
Gokey’s digital tally is 19,000, and inks a new benchmark for first-week digital sales by a new country artist, previously set when Gloriana’s self-titled debut album sold 9,000 downloads last summer.
The title track from “Days” jumps s 31-29 in its 13th week on Country Songs and debuts at No. 63 (27,000 copies) on the Digital Songs chart.
Gokey performed “Days” on “American Idol” March 4, and is scheduled for a pair of March 13-14 [sic]* guest appearances on the WSM Grand Ole Opry, which airs at 9:00 PM (EST) both nights on Sirius XM satellite radio’s “The Roadhouse.
* iheartdannygokey.com correction:Danny will perform twice on March 13, 8-8:30 PM slot and 10:30-11 PM slot. There’s no Opry show on March 14.
