Lebanon native Kason Lester will appear on American Idol this Sunday night on ABC.

Lester appeared in the audition rounds of the popular national talent show on March 6.

More than 300 people attended a public viewing event at The Capitol Theatre in Lebanon to see Lester play Chris Janson’s “Holdin’ Her” for celebrity judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.

At that Louisville, Ky., audition, Lester won a coveted golden ticket to advance to the Hollywood round which will air Sunday.

“I’ve watched people get those golden tickets since Season One when me and my family used to watch every episode,” Lester said. “To get one myself was very surreal.”
