Andra Day to headline Times Square New Year’s Eve [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
The crowds may be MIA, but this year’s Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration promises to deliver the annual year-end staples: music and star power. And this year’s headliner is none other than San Diegan Andra Day.
The acclaimed singer-songwriter will perform her Grammy-nominated single “Rise Up” as well as “Forever Mine” before singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” an annual tradition before the official ball drops from a flag pole at the top of One Times Square.
Day was born in Edmonds, Wash., but it was in San Diego where she developed a passion for music, singing at First United Methodist Church in Chula Vista and eventually attending the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts.
