Revolution to hold National Anthem auditions ahead of 2013 season

The New England Revolution is giving local musicians the opportunity to perform in the same venue where superstars like Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney and Bon Jovi will play this summer.

Ahead of its first-ever National Anthem Auditions in March, the Revolution is looking for talented soloists, groups, instrumentalists and other unique musicians to perform the anthem for the team’s 2013 home games at Gillette Stadium.

Performers interested in being considered can submit their sample performances digitally between now and 4 p.m. on Friday, March 15. A select group of performers from among those submitting samples in advance will be called back for the live final auditions, which will be held at The Lansdowne Pub in Boston, Mass., on Tuesday, March 19, from 6-8 p.m.

All performers will be asked to sing a cappella and without note cards. Both Mix 104.1 and 103.3 AMP Radio will be on hand during the live auditions, with on-air personalities serving as judges and emcees.
