Orioles national anthem singer goes viral for all the wrong reasons
NY Post
T-Pain must be proud.
Artist Dan Deacon performed a controversial auto-tune version of the “Star Spangled Banner” before the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Mets at Camden Yards.
Perhaps the song will be remembered as the turning point in the Orioles’ season as they won both games Thursday to claim the series.
Deacon’s website states he is a Baltimore-based electronic music artist who had created five studio albums, in addition to working on movie scores, including “Hustle.”
He wore a Hawaiian Orioles top with a T-shirt featuring Baltimore’s mascot, The Orioles Bird, while he took the field Thursday afternoon.
A photo showed him and the bird mascot standing in front of a computer and what appeared to be a synthesizer behind home plate.
