We head back to 2010 for this video— what a year it was for Danny Gokey! He returned to his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to headline the Briggs & Stratton stage at Summerfest. The crowd to see Danny was HUGE as he returned to his hometown– just a year after his 3rd place finish on “American Idol”. You can tell in this video how emotionally moved Danny is by the crowd response and their singing every word of his first single! We are glad to see that Danny has re-introduced MBDAAM to his current tour set list.
