Lee Greenwood, the singer behind the famous patriotic song “God Bless the USA”, will be performing later this month at the Flagler Auditorium. Greenwood will take the stage in Palm Coast for the second date on his year-long tour, which will take him around the country he famously honored with his 1984 hit single.
The performance at the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center will be part of Greenwood’s American Spirit tour, which opens with four straight Florida dates in the month of January. He’ll play in Palm Coast on Thursday, January 23rd at 7:00 pm. “The ‘American Spirit Tour’ is a celebration of the values and pride that make this country great,” Greenwood said. “I can’t wait to hit the road and share these special moments with fans from coast to coast.”
“We are thrilled to host Lee Greenwood and the American Spirit Tour at the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center,” said Auditorium Director Amelia Fulmer. “This is a rare chance for our community to enjoy an evening of incredible music and a celebration of the values that unite us all.” Tickets are on-sale now through the Auditorium’s website. Prices start at $64.
Greenwood’s career flourished when he released “God Bless the USA” in 1984, particularly after it became a campaign anthem for Republican presidential candidates Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. It peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at #7 on the country music chart. The song saw resurgences in popularity in 2020 and 2024, when Greenwood supported its usage for the second and third campaigns of Donald Trump.
Additionally, Greenwood is known for several songs topping the country charts in the United States, including “Somebody’s Gonna Love You”, “Going, Going, Gone”, and “Dixie Road”.
