Mike McCready is coming back to CenturyLink Field.
The Seattle Sounders announced Thursday that the longtime Pearl Jam guitarist and Seattle native will perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the first leg of the Western Conference Championship at CenturyLink Field on Tuesday, Nov. 22 (7 p.m. PT; FS1/KIRO 97.3 FM/EL Rey 1360AM).
McCready has performed the national anthem before Sounders games twice in the past – before the second leg of the 2014 Western Conference Semifinals against FC Dallas and again before the regular season finale against Real Salt Lake last season.
A graduate of Seattle’s Roosevelt High School, McCready was one of the founding members of Pearl Jam when the band first came together in Seattle in 1990.
