Josh Gracin will perform an acoustic show at the York Fair on Sept. 15.Great news, Idol fans.

A former Idol contestant will appear at this year’s York Fair after all.

The fair has a rich history of bringing Idol contestants to the event. Clay Aiken, Carrie Underwood, David Cook and Kelly Clarkson have all graced the Grandstand.

This year’s Grandstand lineup doesn’t include an Idol connection.

But Scott Donato, programming director of WGTY, tells us that season two contestant Josh Gracin will do a free acoustic show 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 15, at the fair’s Faire Vue Cafe, next to the banquet center.

You might remember Josh as the former Marine who finished fourth that year, behind Clay, Ruben Studdard and Kimberley Locke.

He went on to release a highly successful self-titled debut album in 2004 and a less successful followup (“We Weren’t Crazy”) in 2008.

He’s currently working on a new album and has a new single out, “Cover Girl,” that is streaming on his website. You can also download a free fan appreciation EP there.
