Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on October 18, 1980)

Happy birthday, Joni Harms! The country talent who sang his heart out and swayed the judges all the way to fourth place on American Idol Season 2—proving once and for all that cowboy hats make contestants cooler (or at least luckier!). Your single "I Need a Wife" may have convinced everyone you're still hunting for your perfect cowgirl companion... or maybe just someone willing to iron your denim shirts.

With catchy tunes, genuine charm, and a voice as smooth as whiskey, you've effortlessly entertained fans from stage to screen. Keep making us smile, sing—and occasionally chuckle along. Happy birthday—keep those boots dancing into another hit-filled year!
