“Celebrate the Songs That Shaped Our Nation and Moved Generations.”

An unforgettable night of music awaits in Born in the USA: A Celebration of America’s Greatest Music!, a high-energy journey through the sounds that shaped our culture—blues, Motown, R&B, soul, rock, pop, and country—brought together in one electrifying performance.

The evening includes music of blues and R&B legends like James Brown, Robert Johnson, and B.B. King. Also, Stevie Wonder’s timeless classics and Bruno Mars’ modern funk keep the groove alive, while The Supremes and The Pointer Sisters deliver the unstoppable flair of Motown. From there, the concert turns up the volume with rock anthems like Jump, Hotel California, Don’t Stop Believin’, and Sweet Child O’ Mine, alongside a medley of rock-and-roll favorites that never go out of style. Pop music fans will revel in Jimmy Buffett’s Island escape, Lady Gaga’s chart-topping energy, the nostalgia of the Backstreet Boys, and the soaring drama of Evanescence and John Legend. Finally, this complete musical journey includes country favorites recorded by Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, and more—songs that speak straight to the heart.

A celebration of rhythm, melody, and memory, Born in the USA: A Celebration of America’s Greatest Music! is more than a concert—it’s America’s soundtrack, past, present, and future.
