Artists On TV

The 80th Major League baseball game will be held at St. Louis’ Busch Stadium on Tues. July 14. Sara Evans has been invited to perform “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch of this year’s diamond shaped contest. Evans plans to make the event a family outing. “I’m a huge baseball fan, as are all of our children,” Sara says. “This will definitely be one of the highlights of our 2009!” The game will be televised by FOX Sports, including Evan’s performance and the tossing of the first pitch which will be handled by President Barack Obama.

Kenny Chesney has agreed to join Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts and Chris Cuomo in New york City’s Central Park on Aug. 14. Logistics for the visit was more complicated than usual because Chesney will also be headed toward his fifth sellout appearance at New England Patriot’s Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Chesney’s Sun City Carnival is slated to play 12 stadiums this summer plus many arenas and amphitheaters. “Out Last Night” just ended a two-week run at No. 1.

Black River recording artist Sarah Darling will be in Chicago (7/10) to sing the National Anthem at the NASCAR Nationwide Series Race at Chicagoland Speedway. The event will be televised on ESPN. Darling will also perform tracks from her new album Every Monday Morning, including her current single “Jack Of Hearts.”
