By the time Lee DeWyze won “American Idol” in 2010, the show was no longer the phenomenon it had been several years prior. Quietly triumphing over better-known favorite Crystal Bowersox in Simon Cowell’s final season of the reality contest, the former paint salesman went on to release a collection of Jason Mraz-styled folk-pop titled Live It Up, which sold poorer than any previous debut from an “Idol” winner—although, in hindsight, nine years later, it did numbers that just about any current “Idol” contestant could only dream of today. Despite that modest start to his post-“Idol” career, DeWyze has been able to record and tour consistently in the decade since, and last year he released his most recent album, Paranoia.
