(NEXSTAR) – While some tune into the Super Bowl for the game, others are there for the commercials, snacks and halftime show. But the performances actually starts before the 6:30 p.m. Eastern kickoff, including a slate of pregame entertainers.

The most high-profile performance of the bunch is the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." For Super Bowl LIX, New Orleans native Jon Batiste will do the honors.

Batiste, a Grammy and Oscar winner, is a singer and composer with such a long resume you may recognize him from classical compositions, artist collaborations, TV or the big screen.
