Before the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off for Super Bowl 55, the national anthem will be a duet from Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan.
Church is a country music singer-songwriter from North Carolina and Sullivan is an R&B singer-songwriter from Philadelphia. Together, the musicians have been nominated for more than twenty Grammy Awards.
Their rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, which will be arranged by Emmy-nominated musical director Adam Blackstone, will be the first time these two artists have collaborated. This is also the first duet for a national anthem performance at the Super Bowl since 2006.
Grammy-award winning artist H.E.R. will also perform “America The Beautiful” before the game. Warren “WAWA” Snipe will join both performances in American Sign Language.
The broadcast for the Super Bowl, which will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, begins at 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 7.
