JERROD NIEMANN TO SALUTE THE TROOPS WITH NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY PARADE PERFORMANCE (5/28)

Curb Records Country star JERROD NIEMANN will stand and honor members of the U.S. Armed Services on Monday (5/28), taking part in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C, as a special musical guest.

Set to perform his current single “I Got This” – described by Rolling Stone Country as a “strutting indie-pop jam” – and “Old Glory” – a patriotic anthem written before the longtime military supporter embarked on the 76th Annual USO Holiday Tour last December – Niemann will sing in a nationally-televised salute to U.S. service members everywhere, a task he views as one of the highest callings of his career.

The National Memorial Day Parade is the largest Memorial Day event in the United States. Now celebrating its 14th year, the parade will draw an estimated 300,000 spectators as it makes its way down Constitution Avenue in the nation’s capital starting at 2 p.m. ET. Viewers at home can salute the troops by tuning in to the live-streamed broadcast online, or on various ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox affiliate stations around the country. Check local listings for detailed viewing information.

This year’s Grand Marshalls include actor Gary Sinise, The Tuskegee Airmen and Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos and Spencer Stone – heroes of the thwarted terrorist attack on a train from Amsterdam to Paris in 2015. Special celebrity guests include actor Joe Mantegna, chef Robert Irvine and Miss America 2018 Cara Mund, and TV broadcasts will be hosted by actor Dean Cain, ABC News correspondent Kyra Phillips and ESPN commentator Sage Steele. Other performers taking the stage include Country star Trace Adkins and rising talent Cassidy Daniels.

Then on June 10, Niemann will appear on the Chevy Breakout Stage located in Walk of Fame Park (across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum) at 4:30 p.m. CT.
ABOUT JERROD NIEMANN:
Fueled by a nearly decade-long career, prolific Nashville hitmaker Jerrod Niemann has dug deeper that ever before with THIS RIDE – his first album for Curb Records which includes current smash, “I Got This” and the uplifting duet “A Little More Love” (with Lee Brice). Known for clever wordplay and attention-grabbing lyrics, the highly engaging singer-songwriter last topped Country charts with his PLATINUM-certified anthem “Drink to That All Night,” a multi-week #1 from the 2014 album HIGH NOON – on which he co-wrote eight of the 12 tracks. Niemann first burst onto the scene in 2010 with his critically-acclaimed major-label debut, JUDGE JERROD & THE HUNG JURY, which skyrocketed on the strength of his PLATINUM-certified #1 smash “Lover, Lover” and GOLD-certified Top 5 “What Do You Want.” His second release, FREE THE MUSIC, included Top 15 “Shinin’ On Me” and poignant ballad “Only God Could Love You More.” From Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association, and CMT Award nominations, to headlining and touring with some of Country’s hottest acts – Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban – Niemann continues to make his mark by creatively pushing boundaries all while offering a sincere nod to the legends before him.
