Young rocker Chris Daughtry worked very hard on his way to stardom, traveling the country back and forth in a tiny van with his bandmates, playing any dive that'll have him and hustling to make business connections any chance he got. Oh, wait — actually, he came in fourth place on a TV singing contest. On top of Grammy nominations and No. 1 hits, tonight he's playing with his band at Music freakin' Hall. If Daughtry's generic Radio Rock sound is your thang, have fun. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. with singer/songwriter Mike Sanchez and the band Safetysuit. Tickets are $30.50-$50.50.

Daughtry is donating $1 from each ticket sold to Malaria No More, "a leading humanitarian organization determined to end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015." So he's got that goin' for him …

He does a wicked Lady Gaga impersonation, too.
