Win or lose, Jackie Evancho of Richland is going to continue singing for America.
The "America's Got Talent" finalist will hit the road for a nationwide tour with the other top 10 performers from the NBC show. Jerry Springer will emcee the concerts that begin Oct. 1 and go through 25 cities -- but not Pittsburgh.
Hitting the road with Jackie will be 12-year-old ballroom dancers Anna and Patry, singing sisters Christina & Ali, performance troupe Fighting Gravity, stunt bike rider Jeremy VanSchoonhoven, magician/illusionist Michael Grasso, glam opera singer Prince Poppycock, dance troupe Studio One Young Beast Society and singers Taylor Mathews and Michael Grimm.
The whirlwind tour opens in Oakland, Calif., and continues east, stopping in Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 23 and New York City Oct. 27. It also comes through Washington's DAR Constitution Hall Nov. 4 before finishing up in Orlando Nov. 7.
