Man Sings The Star Spangled Banner While Painting
Artist and singer Joe Everson stunned the crowd at a basketball game when he performed The Star Spangled Banner while painting. I think we can all agree that The National Anthem is one of the hardest songs to perform. Those high notes at the end can be a challenge even for the most seasoned musician. But today, one man is sharing a unique rendition of this iconic song and it has the whole nation in awe.
Joe Everson was tasked with singing The Star Spangled Banner before a Mississippi Tigers basketball game at Mizzou Arena. He started to belt out the lyrics that we all know and love.
'O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming'
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming'
But Joe wasn’t just singing, he was also painting at the same time. At first, the crowd wasn’t quite sure what he was drawing. You can see faces in the crowd looking intently at Joe and his creation. Right before the big finale, Joe flipped the canvas around and it revealed the symbolic image of raising the flag on Iwo Jima. The crowd ignited in cheers as Joe proudly added the stripes on the flag while simultaneously hitting that last note.
What an incredible display of talent, artistry and patriotism. Joe certainly has a gift for performing and painting and I’m so glad that he’s sharing his skills with the world. Who else was in awe when he turned the painting over?
