What's more American than the 4th of July, baseball, and American Idol? Okay, okay, so the 4th has already come and gone, but season seven American Idol winner David Cook and his band are set to perform two songs at this year's All Star event in St. Louis. Cook, a Missouri native, will perform just before the start of the State Farm Home Run Derby at Busch Stadium. It's actually an all-star lineup of singers and Missouri natives, as David joins the ranks of nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow, who will perform the US National Anthem as a part of a special pre-game ceremony, and Country star Sara Evans, who will perform "God Bless America" during the seventh inning stretch. David won't be the only Idol contender to be a part of the event, as fourth season contestant Nikko Smith, who is also the son of St. Louis Cardinals phenom Ozzie Smith, will perform the U.S. National Anthem at the game.
The actual game takes place on July 14th, but David Cook's performance before the Home Run Derby will be on July 13th. You can catch it on ESPN at 8 PM EST.
