The Chicks Bring Intricate Harmonies to the National Anthem at 2024 DNC


The Chicks hit the stage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention on Thursday night to play the national anthem at Chicago's United Center.

The Chicks hit the stage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention on Thursday night (Aug. 22) to play “The Star Spangled Banner,” on the fourth and final day of the DNC at Chicago’s United Center before a crowd fired up and waiting for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to speak. Introduced as the winners of 13 Grammy Awards and the “biggest-selling U.S. female group of all time,” the trio — Natalie Maines and sisters Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire — walked out, clad in muted gray and black outfits, and said not a word before delivered a stunning a cappella version of the anthem filled with intricate, layered harmonies. This wasn’t The Chicks’ first DNC appearance: The country trio also performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” at 2020’s virtual Democratic National Convention in support of President Biden’s nomination.
