Celebrate the 4th of July with Music!

BBQ, Fireworks and Music all come to mind with the upcoming holiday of July 4th. Several events to commemorate this event take place each year. One that I would like to recommend is the 4th of July concert presented by the Boston Pops and Keith Lockhart. This is an outstanding presentation that attracts millions. Below is a news announcement advertising the event.

Rascal Flatts will expand their sound when they join conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra on the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, a TV special airing July 4 on CBS. Rascal Flatts will perform several of their hits with the orchestra during the live telecast from the Charles River Esplanade in Boston. The special will be hosted by Craig Ferguson, the Scottish-born late night talk show host who became a U.S. citizen earlier this year. ... In related news, Jerry Lee Lewis, Huey Lewis & the News and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks are among those performing on the PBS special, A Capitol Fourth. Actor Jimmy Smits will host the program live from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The July 4 telecast will also feature Broadway star Brian Stokes Mitchell, classical vocalists Hayley Westenra and Harolyn Blackwell and the National Symphony Orchestra.

July 4th Broadcast Information is listed as 8:00 pm – Local broadcast on WBZ-TV and 10:00 pm – National broadcast on CBS Network . However, times tend to vary on region so check your local broadcasting schedule.
