Garth Brooks to perform at Biden's inauguration

Source: ABC News

Garth Brooks is performing at the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Brooks announced Monday that he will be singing on-site at the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. alongside previously announced artists including Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez.

The country singer calls the opportunity a "chance to serve" and "not a political statement, a statement of unity."

Brooks also performed at President Barack Obama's inauguration in 2008, where Biden was sworn in as vice president.

in the hopes it would help revitalize them because lets face it they have not exactly been a top 50 band in a long while.
