Nashville based country music artist, Stephen Ray, just announced via Instagram that he will be singing the National Anthem on New Years Day at Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings football game. This announcement comes in tandem with the update that he will also be releasing a new single called Silver Lining the same day on all music streaming platforms. Stephen Ray has opened concerts for country superstars such as Toby Keith, Parmalee and Cody Johnson.
Stephen Ray is the son of former NFL Head Coach Steve Mariucci, who was an Assistant Coach at the Packers from 1992-1995. “Green Bay has always held a very special place in my heart since growing up just a couple miles from Lambeau and going to games as a kid to now visiting as adult with friends and family over the years”, Stephen explained, “it will be a dream come true to sing the anthem in such an iconic stadium for fans that I love”. The game will be televised live on New Years day on CBS and kickoff is at 3:25pm CST.
Stephen let his fans and followers know that after meeting the Packers current Head Coach, Matt LaFleur, at the Songwriters in Paradise Songwriter Festival in Napa Valley, CA in April of 2022, that Coach LaFleur invited him to sing the anthem at a game in the upcoming season. Stephen describes it as an offer he couldn’t refuse and will be forever grateful for the opportunity.
Stephen’s upcoming single, Silver Lining, was co-written alongside Anna Wilson and Monty Powell. Powell is best known as a songwriter for his work with Keith Urban including chart-topping hits such as Days Go By and Sweet Thing performed by Urban. The latest by Powell, Anna Wilson and Stephen Ray, Silver Lining, was produced by Sol-Philcox Littlefield at East Avalon Recorders in Muscle Shoals, Alabama as part of an effort to bring Nashville players and musicians into the famous Muscle Shoals music scene.
Silver Lining and all of Stephen Ray’s music can be heard on all digital streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, among others. Stephen Ray can be followed on all social media with his handle @StephenRayMusic.
