The Fourth of July is cause for great celebration throughout America, and when this country celebrates we waste no effort making sure that it's a good time for all. The Boston Pops 4th Of July celebration is one of the largest displays in the country, so it's no wonder that CBS broadcasts the special to the whole nation live on Independence Day. However, it's hardly the only TV special dedicated to the holiday. With so many celebrations to choose from, the Boston Pops 4th Of July performers may be the deciding factor that makes you tune into CBS on Monday night.
Boston has pulled no punches in assembling one of the most solid lineups you're likely to see at a celebration this year. Featuring three superstar acts, Boston Pops 4th Of July seems to have something for almost everybody. The three performers that are anchoring the city's celebration are Little Big Town, Nick Jonas, and Demi Lovato. These three acts combined have sold millions upon of records and are likely familiar to anyone who has listened to the radio in the past five years. Here's what to look forward to when the Fourth of July comes to Boston and your TV.
Little Big Town
This country act is no stranger to the music scene, and have recently been enjoying an increased profile thanks to the strengths of songs like "Day Drinking," "Pain Killer," and their hit single "Girl Crush." Little Big Town's profile has risen steadily over nearly 20 years as a band and there's no better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than with a band that embodies that American dream.
Nick Jonas
Nick Jonas' non-Jonas Brothers career has been an exciting and surprising journey. From his power-pop Disney Channel beginnings, Jonas' transformation into a sleek, sexy R&B singer proves that you can always change who you are and realign your goals to fit what you seek, which is an awfully American idea. Expect to hear Jonas' inescapable hit "Close," along with newer tracks like "Bacon" and "Chainsaw." Just don't get your hopes up for a solo rendition of "Burnin' Up" or "Lovebug".
Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas have been touring together under the Honda Civic Tour: Future Now banner, and they are bringing their one-two punch to the Boston Pops 4th Of July. Lovato's success as a pop singer has been massive, using the success of singles like "Cool for the Summer" and "Confident" to define her place in music alongside pop superstar contemporaries like Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande. Lovato's journey from Disney to the pop stardom is incredibly similar to the path that Jonas took to success, making these two a perfect fit in performances.
With a bill like this and the promise of an amazing fireworks spectacle, the only reason to miss tuning into the Boston Pops 4th Of July celebration on CBS is if you're actually in Boston seeing it in real life. For all those who can't make the trip, the celebration will be broadcast live on Monday, July 4 at 9 p.m. ET.
