TUCSON, Ariz. (Dec. 23, 2015) – The NOVA® Home Loans Arizona Bowl will be an action-packed evening of college football, and now fans in the stadium and at home can also enjoy tunes they know by heart and others that will be new music to their ears, with special musical guests U.S. Congresswoman Martha McSally, Grammy Award-nominee Linda Chorney and the Grammy Award-winning Los Lobos. The Colorado State and University of Nevada, Reno school bands will also get in on the action.

Singer and songwriter Linda Chonrey, a Tucson resident, will kick off the inaugural NOVA® Home Loans Arizona Bowl game with a performance of God Bless America. Chorney made history as the first artist to achieve a Grammy nomination without a label, manager or publicist, for Best Americana Album Emotional Jukebox for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards.

At approximately 5:20 p.m., U.S. Congresswoman Martha McSally will deliver the National Anthem. Representing Arizona’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, McSally serves on the Committees on Homeland Security and Armed Services and as chair of the Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications.

“It seems fitting that Rep. McSally sing the National Anthem at the inaugural NOVA® Home Loans Arizona Bowl game, since she has been part of so many firsts throughout her military service and beyond,” said  Alan Young, CEO of Arizona Sports and Entertainment Commission. “Her performance also helps elevate even further our efforts to honor service men and women at the game, expressing how much we appreciate the bravery and sacrifice of U.S. troops.”

At the top of the Desert Diamond Casino Halftime Show, Colorado State and University of Nevada, Reno’s school marching bands will each, in turn, fill the stadium with their signature sounds and intricate on-field formations. 

In the second half of the Desert Diamond Casino Halftime Show, Los Lobos will deliver a high energy concert featuring the band’s signature rock crossover hits as well as the innovative and soulful songs of their latest album, Gates of Gold. Los Lobos is praised for their eclectic style, fusing a mix of Rock and Roll, Country and Folk with Blues, Cumbia and Jazz rhythms and styles. Throughout 40 years of making music, Los Lobos has drawn and maintained a dedicated fan base with classics such as Will the Wolf Survive and La Bamba.
