Dr. Stephen Newby has been there since the beginning. Dr. Newby has led ove 40,000 in the singing the National Anthem over 100 times as the Seattle Sounders primary anthem singer. Sunday’s performance against the Houston Dynamo will be his last, barring future guest appearances.
“It’s not that I’m stepping away for good,” Dr. Newby said in a press release. “I’m going to come back. It’s just going to be on a less frequent basis. I want to spend time with my son and my wife. This will be my son’s last year in high school and he runs track and I need to be a little more present.
