Against the heavily politicized backdrop of the Trump camp’s efforts to find performers willing to appear during his inauguration events, the president-elect’s team announced that the inaugural concert has lined up country star Toby Keith, “Dreamgirls” singer Jennifer Holliday and actor Jon Voight to perform.
Also appearing at next Thursday’s event, billed as the “Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration,” will be Southern rockers 3 Doors Down, The Piano Guys, Lee Greenwood, DJ RaviDrums and The Frontmen of Country, featuring Tim Rushlow, Larry Stewart and Richie McDonald.
“Trump himself also will speak at the concert at the Lincoln Memorial, which organizers said ‘will serve as a tribute to one of our greatest attributes, the peaceful transition of partisan power,'” the AP reports.
The report notes: “The celebrity wattage for Trump’s inaugural festivities doesn’t rival that of Barack Obama’s inaugurations, which attracted A-listers including Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Eva Longoria and Jennifer Hudson, among others. But Trump has insisted that’s how he wants it, saying the swearing-in festivities should be about the people, not the elites.”
If Trump could have had the most star-studded lineup in the history of presidential inaugurations, he absolutely would have. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
I couldn’t agree with you more, Nick G.
Couldn’t disagree more.
Many of the celebrities saying they were asked and won’t perform are people no Trump supporter would want to see in the first place, and it all seems preemptive and hollow – “See, I’m a good liberal, I won’t perform at the inaugural though I will pretend to have been asked.”
Celebs? Ha! B listers at best!!
Absolutely hilarious. The illegitimate orange P.O.S. is a total fraud, and his snowflake followers are desperately applying lipstick to this pig. Trump Chumps.
I heard Bozo the Clown and Eric Estrada were also appearing in the Trump “All Star” line-up
Don Planete, I’m sorry to tell you, but Bozo declined…
Sounds like this thing can be held in a local VFW hall.
