On Thursday, Alabama softball fans will get an extra treat when Nashville recording artist and Tuscaloosa native Glen Templeton sings the National Anthem!

First pitch for the Alabama vs. Tennessee softball game on April 23rd will be at 7 pm. Airtime on 95.3 The Bear and 953thebear.com will be 6:50 pm.

A graduate of Tuscaloosa County High, Glen Templeton has a low country growl to his voice similar to that of Conway Twitty, whom Templeton portrayed in the musical 'Only Make Believe' for two years on the road.

Glen is a real artist with a pure talent and is representing T-Town well in Music City. Along with being seen in Nashville haunts, he can be found every few months rocking out Temerson Square at Rhythm & Brews and occasionally at Jackie’s Lounge on Bryant Drive.

The singing of the National Anthem will take place around 6:50 pm. Get tickets here.
