When sketching out the concept for AMERICA: 250 Years Young, I knew the album needed a seminal patriotic anthem as its grand finale.

Think politics are bad now? This beautiful, enduring song from a legendary Broadway flop still provides an important message for us today.

Americans are proud of their country, their history, and themselves . In fact, one of the things they’re most proud of is being proud of being American.

Whether traversing an ocean, a continent, or the cosmos, so much of our shared history involves crossing the frontier in search of a better life.

It’s one of the most recognized songs in America. But did you know that “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is really about a girl’s love of our National Pastime?

When I started thinking about the song list for AMERICA: 250 Years Young, one thing I knew for certain was that it would include the works of George M. Cohan.

A musical journey 250 years in the making, AMERICA: 250 Years Young captures the heartbeat of the American story. Streaming now!

We’re just one week away from the release of AMERICA: 250 Years Young! Be sure you’re ready for May 21 – and be sure to join me at a local concert!
