From 'The Voice' to the Vikings, Southeast Minnesota musician is 'excited for what comes next'

On Sunday, Dec. 7, Cori Kennedy, a West Concord native and singer-songwriter, will sing the national anthem at the Vikings vs. Commanders game at U.S. Bank Stadium, marking her largest in-person audience yet.
Her rise began with a blind audition on 'The Voice' that went viral, featuring a storytelling country original that boosted Kennedy's profile with judges Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan and Michael Bublé on Season 28.

Family members will form Kennedy's entourage at the Vikings game, reflecting support from Grandma Linda Kennedy and Grandpa David Kennedy through encouraging words and presence.
Kennedy is writing more songs and recording in Nashville as she prepares singles, albums and live shows, with her team calling this phase only the beginning of her career.
