The Lyric welcomes award-winning country music star Lee Greenwood to the stage this season, Thursday, November 12th at 6pm & 8:30pm. Best known for his signature song "God Bless the USA," Greenwood has released more than twenty major-label albums over his long and impressive career. Winner of multiple Male Vocalist of the Year awards, Lee Greenwood has built a reputation as one of the most successful country music artists of all time. This season at The Lyric Theatre, Greenwood will perform hits such as "Somebody's Gonna Love You" and "Going Going Gone."

Few artists have ever written a song that has become more a part of America's cultural landscape than Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA." If he'd never written or recorded another hit, Greenwood would have secured his place in music history with that powerful inspiring ballad.

"God Bless the USA" has been voted the most recognizable patriotic song in America, taking the top honor over "God Bless America" and the "National Anthem," but it is only one of the many hits that have propelled Greenwood's successful career. With his distinctive voice, insightful songwriting and unparalleled showmanship, Greenwood has been captivating audiences for decades.

Along the way, he has won numerous accolades including two Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the Country Music Association and the CMA Song of the Year honor in 1985 for "God Bless the USA." He has won the Top Male Vocal Performance in 1983 for "I.O.U." His lengthy string of hits includes such classics as "Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands," "It Turns Me Inside Out," "Somebody's Gonna Love You," "I Don't Mind the Thorns (If You're the Rose)" and "Dixie Road."

Greenwood's latest EP, I Want to be in Your World features three of the musician's original creations, as well as some inspired covers, notably Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins' "You Can Let it Go Now." In addition to performing the vocals for each piece, Lee Greenwood also plays the saxophone in his latest release. For his performance at The Lyric Theatre, Lee Greenwood will perform "God Bless the USA" as well as many of his wildly popular country rock singles, including "Dixie Road" and "I Don't Mind the Thorns (If You're the Rose)" among others.
