Darci Lynne Farmer and Her Mother, Misty, Deliver Moving National Anthem Performance at Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon
At the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, the opening of the event took on an emotional tone thanks to a special performance by young ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer and her mother, Misty. Known for her exceptional talent as a ventriloquist, Darci Lynne has been a fan favorite since her time on America’s Got Talent, where she wowed audiences with her ability to sing while performing with puppets. However, it was her rare solo performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” that truly captivated the crowd on race day.
Darci Lynne, who has a powerful and soulful voice, kicked off the national anthem with confidence and grace, setting the stage for what would become a memorable mother-daughter duet. Her mom, Misty, joined her in a heartfelt collaboration, showcasing the incredible vocal talent that runs in the family. The pair took turns singing the anthem’s verses, before seamlessly harmonizing in the final third of the song, a moment that sent chills through the audience.
While the video footage was slightly blurry, the sound quality was crystal clear, allowing fans to fully appreciate the stunning blend of voices. The performance struck a chord with those in attendance, as it was a reminder of the deep emotional connection the anthem holds for many, particularly in the context of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, an event honoring the victims of the 1995 bombing.
This performance marked a new chapter in Darci Lynne’s journey as an artist, showing fans that her talents extend far beyond ventriloquism. As she continues to develop her solo career, Darci Lynne and her mom’s rendition of the national anthem will surely be remembered as a powerful and moving moment.
