"CELEBRATING AMERICA" will showcase the American people’s resilience, heroism, and unified commitment to coming together as a nation to heal and rebuild.

"What a crazy cool opportunity," said HUBBARD of the invitation to perform. "As simple as just to get to play music again, which is exciting in itself, but then to get to spread and share this message of hope and love and unity to the world. What better platform to get to do that on? So we’re both extremely excited.” Added McGRAW, “Very excited, and also, the background of what we’re gonna be shooting is gonna be NASHVILLE. So, to showcase our city and all that it’s gone through in the last year is a big deal for us.”
