American Idol Season 23 runner-up John Foster made a triumphant return to his home state over Memorial Day weekend, performing an electrifying duet with country star Craig Morgan at the 2025 Cajun Country Jam. The event, held at PARDS North Park in Denham Springs, Louisiana, was a highlight of the holiday weekend, drawing crowds eager to experience three days of live country music, southern hospitality, and unforgettable performances.
Foster, a native of Addis, Louisiana, took the stage for his first official performance in his home state since capturing the nation’s attention on American Idol. His appearance marked a major milestone in his fast-rising career—and fans were not disappointed.
One of the evening’s most powerful moments came when Foster joined Grand Ole Opry member Craig Morgan on stage to perform Morgan’s beloved hit, “Almost Home.” The duet was a heartfelt nod to the golden era of ’90s country music. Foster’s deep, emotional vocals perfectly complemented Morgan’s seasoned voice, creating a magical, nostalgic experience for fans of all ages.
“I am so incredibly glad to be back in my home state of Louisiana,” Foster shared in a Facebook post prior to the event. “American Idol was such an amazing ride.” He encouraged fans to attend the festival and join in the celebration, clearly thrilled to reconnect with his local roots.

The Cajun Country Jam performance comes just days after Foster’s emotional American Idol finale, where he finished second with a stirring rendition of “Tell That Angel I Love Her.” His journey may have started on a national stage, but it’s quickly evolving into a full-fledged music career with deep country roots.
In another exciting announcement, Foster revealed that he will make his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday, June 7th, marking a historic next step for the Louisiana-born singer-songwriter.
