2014 Revs National Anthem Finalists Chosen by Local Celebrities

The New England Revolution selected three finalists to perform the National Anthem at one of their home games this season Wednesday night during the second annual New England Revolution National Anthem Auditions at the Lansdowne Pub.

The local TV singing star was joined by fellow guest judges – Berklee College of Music’s lead marketing professor, Stephanie Kellar and New England Revolution’s Director of Event Presentation, Abbey Thelin – all tasked with cutting down 21 finalists to three winners. Radio personality Salt from Mix 104.1 served as the evening’s emcee.

Each contestant was given sixty seconds to sing the song of their choice before the field was whittled down to six finalists, each of which received the chance to perform their rendition of the anthem before the crowd.

Nicole Pelletier of Pelham, NH, Joe Cantone of Cranston, RI and Halley Neal of Lebanon, CT, were eventually crowned as the winners, each receiving an invitation to perform the National Anthem before an upcoming New England Revolution home game this season.
