PREGAME PATRIOTISM

The Star-Spangled Banner will be performed by local favorites and Jaguars season ticket holders Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Trucks spent time playing with the Allman Brothers, and Tedeschi had a successful solo career. In 2010, the two combined their talents to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band, a blend of American soul, blues, rock and country. The Tedeschi Trucks Band christened Daily’s Place in 2017, and performed the first ever concert in the amphitheater. Tedeschi also performed the national anthem before the Jags’ AFC Wild Card playoff win over the Buffalo Bills on January 7, 2018.

HALF TIME ENTERTAINMENT

Saturday’s halftime entertainment will be a performance by New York-based pop-rock band American Authors. Formed in 2006 at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, the group released their debut album “Oh What a Life” in 2014. By 2018, the American songwriters had generated over one billion global streams. Their instantly recognizable breakthrough “Best Day of My Life” received a triple platinum certification from the RIAA and peaked at 11 on Billboard Hot 100 in addition to being featured in over 600 movie trailers, TV series, commercials and as the theme song for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
