Michigan native, former Marine and “American Idol” finalist Josh Gracin is blazing a trail to the BBQ Roundup, bringing his finger-licking country style to the main stage Saturday night.

Even better, the VenuWorks concert on Saturday is free with regular $3 gate admission. Since his fourth-place finish in “Idol” Season 2, Gracin has released three studio albums.

He topped the charts with “Nothin’ to Lose,” and had other hits with “I Want to Live” and “Stay with Me (Brass Bed).” His latest album, “Redemption,” showcases more slices of life, including “Over Me” and “Enough.”

Local favorites round out the weekend main stage entertainment with a variety of styles, from dueling pianos and Mark Moss to 8 Seconds, Cedar Island Band, BillyLee Janey and more.
