Josh Groban has performed the national anthem not once, but twice before Game 1 of a World Series. Not bad for someone who hasn't even turned 25.
"It was great!" said the Los Angeles native, who had a packed U.S. Cellular Field cheering Saturday night. "The first time I did it [before game 1 of the 2002 World Series in Anaheim], I had never toured before, never had performed before large audiences before, so I was a little nervous. This time I have come off of a 200-city tour, Chicago being one of the greatest audiences I have ever had, and so to be back here in Chicago and to be able to do it for the World Series -- I was a little less nervous and it was nice. I was able to go out there and smell the roses and have fun."
The singer worked with producer David Foster on the arrangement he used for the anthem.
"I had done that arrangement one other time and it was pretty much the same arrangement that we did the last time and it just works," said Groban. "I feel it every time I go out to perform that track and David Foster is the master at putting that stuff together." Click here to watch Josh Groban singing US National Anthem.
