CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — “America’s Got Talent” winner and West Virginia native Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. is set to headline a benefit concert this spring.

Officials say Murphy is scheduled to perform at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium on April 6 in his only public concert scheduled in the area for 2013.

Tickets go on sale to the public on Tuesday and range in price from $25 to $40.
