Iconic Performances
From sea to shining sea — the songs that make us who we are.
Music has always been America's common language. Through triumph and struggle, celebration and grief, Americans have sung their way forward together. As we mark 250 years of independence, these iconic performances remind us that no matter our differences, we share something deep and enduring — a love of this country and what it stands for. Turn it up.
