You listened, and you voted! Now, it’s time to announce the winner of The Star-Spangled Sing-Off!
Local Gray stations around the country accepted Star-Spangled vocal submissions, and you voted for your favorite local singers! Then, our voters had the chance to choose their favorite regional voice! And one lucky winner won an all-expense-paid trip to Nashville to record their rendition of the National Anthem!
Congratulations to the Star-Spangled Sing-Off Winner!
