NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) is holding its 14th annual National Anthem Contest, with the winner earning the opportunity to perform at the historic Ryman Auditorium during CattleCon.
Finalist Morgan Higman of North Sioux City, South Dakota, joined us on Friday’s Market Day Report to discuss her musical journey and experience in the contest.
In her conversation with RFD-TV, Higman says she began performing the national anthem at county fairs and sporting events while growing up in South Dakota.
Now living in Nashville, she performs with her band, Morgan Higman and the Sticks, and recently released her debut single, “My Mother,” which she wrote at 17 as a tribute to her mom.
Higman says a friend involved in the cattle industry encouraged her to enter the contest, and she was excited to be selected as one of three finalists.
Voting for the NCBA National Anthem Contest remains open through November 25, with the winner expected to be announced by December 1.
