See Lee DeWyze LIVE From The Blue Cross Blue Shield Performance Stage

(CBS) American Idol Season 9 winner Lee DeWyze will be performing an intimate acoustic set at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Performance Stage this Monday at 9:30 AM CT and CBS Chicago will be streaming the performance live so you can catch every chord and chorus delivered during what will surely be a performance that will delight fans and convert new comers.

American Idol made him a household name, but singer-songwriter Lee DeWyze has been making waves as a musician long before he was crowned the winner of the ninth season of the wildly popular singing competition.

As the leader of The Lee DeWyze Band, the Mount Prospect native had already released his debut album So I'm Told years before he auditioned to appear on American Idol, while his sophomore album Slumberland was released just as the show premiered in January 2010.

While on the show, DeWyze won the admiration of millions with his powerful renditions of such songs as Owl City's "Fireflies," Seal's "Kiss From A Rose," as well as a final round trifecta of Simon & Garfunkle's "The Boxer," R.E.M's "Everybody Hurts," and U2's "Beautiful Day."

His post-Idol release, 2010's Live It Up, broke the Billboard Top 20. In 2012, DeWyze returned with the release of What Once Was, followed by the release of 2013's Frames.

With five albums under his belt as well as a proficiency for recreating some of the best songs from the past few decades, DeWyze's performance this Monday is guaranteed to have a song that can strike a chord with anyone.
