Also on deck for the ceremony are Jennifer Lopez, who will perform; firefighter Andrea Hall, who will lead in the Pledge of Allegiance; and Amanda Gorman, the first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate , who will recite a poem; an invocation will be delivered by Father Leo O’Donovan, and a benediction by Reverend Dr. Silvester Beaman, both longtime friends of the Biden family.

Additional artists booked for the Biden-Harris inaugural events have not yet been publicly revealed. The new Democratic ticket is expected to draw a starry lineup of industry supporters to participate and perform for inaugural festivities. In addition to the swearing-in ceremony, a virtual parade and other events are scheduled for live streams on Jan. 20.

Trump settled for country singers Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood, ‘90s rock act 3 Doors Down and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Yes! I was hope Bruce would be the guy for this when Biden one 🙌🏽

Good old Bruce... coming to the aid of the party!🥳

No time for a party. Just get him in office and get the orange guy out.

Remember Trump’s inauguration concert? Held on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial it featured Lee Greenwood, Jackie Evancho, Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, DJ Ravidrums, The Piano Guys, & The Frontmen of Country (Tim Rushlow, Larry Stewart, and Richie McDonald). Me neither...

such bollocks

The left presumes we are interested in those performers. No, they have all been sent out to pasture by self-deporting away from American values. Just like Hollywood itself. You can’t fool the audience anymore. China is the center of gravity in pop-culture, not these old coots.

The cycle of abuse is stronger than love, and unless you move with intention it will never end. I'm at about the end of my intention to give a damn about how anyone else feels.
