The United States is a country that sings its national anthem a lot relative to other countries, and no performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is bigger than the one that takes place before the Super Bowl.

It is one of vanishingly few performances of the song you can bet on. If you flub the lyrics, it doesn't matter how many records you've sold or how good your intentions are—everyone will notice.

With this in mind, here's a look at the pregame performers for Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9—headlined by a distinguished performer from the state (Louisiana) where this edition of the game will be played.

Who is singing the national anthem at Super Bowl LIX?

Jon Batiste—a native of Metairie, La.—will perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Batiste—a multitalented musician who works in the jazz, pop and R&B idioms—is a 20-time Grammy nominee and a five-time Grammy winner. In 2022, his 2021 album We Are won a Grammy for Album of the Year.

Batiste is perhaps best known as a composer, particularly for his efforts co-composing the score for Pixar's Soul in 2020. His most popular song is his single, "Freedom," which released in 2021. The music video has more than 21 million views on his official YouTube channel. Batiste has been the main artist on 17 albums since 2005.
