American Idol semi-finalist Elliott Yamin has returned home today for a whirlwind publicity tour. He appeared on radio shows this morning and performed at the James Center at Noon.

There is an Elliott parade on the Boulevard set for 4pm this afternoon. And he will throw out the first pitch and sing at tonight's Richmond Braves game, which is looking to be a sell-out.

Camera crews from American Idol have been following Elliott everywhere he goes. Clips from his Richmond homecoming are expected to air next week.
