HALFTIME ENTERTAINMENT
Saturday’s halftime entertainment will be a performance by New York-based pop-rock band American Authors. The group was formed in 2006 at Berklee College of Music in Boston and released their debut album Oh What a Life in 2014. By 2018, the American Authors had generated over one billion global streams. Their instantly recognizable breakthrough “Best Day of My Life” earned a triple-platinum certification from the RIAA and vaulted to 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to being featured in over 600 movie trailers, TV shows, commercials, and as a theme song for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
FIRST DUUUVAL
The First DUUUVAL will be delivered by Jaguars Legend John Henderson. The 6-7, 335-pound former DT lived up to his nickname of “Big John” from his very first game through the end of his career ten years later. Henderson teamed up with DT Marcus Stroud to form a defensive tackle tandem that was nearly impenetrable and made the Jaguars defense one of the most formidable in the NFL. Henderson finished his career with 29.0 sacks and two Pro Bowl recognitions. In 2019, Henderson was named No. 10 on the Jaguars All-25, a collection of the top 25 players in franchise history.
PREGAME PATRIOTISM
The Star-Spangled Banner will be performed by local favorites and Jaguars season ticket holders Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band. Trucks spent time playing with the Allman Brothers, and Tedeschi had a successful solo career. In 2010, the two combined their talents to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band, a blend of American soul, blues, rock, and country. Tedeschi Trucks Band christened Daily’s Place in 2017, performing the first ever concert in the amphitheater. Tedeschi also leant her voice to the Jaguars when she performed the national anthem before the team’s AFC Wild Card playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 7, 2018.
The colors for the game will be presented by members of the Northeast Florida Joint Service Honor Guard.
