Celebrate July 4 with PATROTIC POPS at Riverbend

The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and Conductor John Morris Russell return to Riverbend Music Center on Tuesday, July 4 at 8 p.m. for the annual Fourth of July spectacular, Patriotic Pops. Joining the Orchestra this year are acclaimed vocalist Ellis Hall and triple-threat fiddle ensemble the Quebe Sisters. The concert will combine traditional patriotic classics like "America the Beautiful" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic," alongside a survey of American popular music through the decades from "Georgia on My Mind" to "All of Me."

Ellis Hall, a blind performer, has been dubbed, "The Ambassador of Soul," known for his inspiring, animated performances of music ranging from gospel, R&B, soul and more. The Quebe Sisters, an ensemble from Texas, have been bringing their tight vocal and fiddle harmonies to Americana stages since 2000. Having shared the stage with such stars as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and more, these talented and passionate players have all the makings of American legends.
