BREAKING NEWS: Country Legends Jimmy Fortune and Don Reid to Reunite for “The All-American Halftime Show” — A Patriotic Alternative to Super Bowl 60 Led by Erika Kirk…
In a historic announcement that has left fans of classic country and American heritage music rejoicing, Turning Point USA — now under the leadership of Erika Kirk, widow of the late conservative leader Charlie Kirk — has revealed that two of the most beloved voices in country history will take the stage together once more.
Jimmy Fortune and Don Reid of The Statler Brothers, the group that helped define American harmony for decades, have officially been invited to join “The All-American Halftime Show” — a patriotic, faith-driven alternative to the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Event.
The announcement marks one of the most emotional and meaningful reunions in country music history. Known for their rich harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, Fortune and Reid’s music once told the story of America — songs of home, love, and timeless values that resonated from small towns to stadiums. Now, they’re returning to do it again, this time for a cause that transcends entertainment.
Leading the night will be Erika Kirk, serving as both host and heart of the show — guiding audiences through an unforgettable evening of faith, courage, unity, and remembrance.
“This isn’t just music,” Erika said during the press announcement in Dallas. “It’s America — standing tall, singing together again.”
The All-American Halftime Show, airing live opposite the Super Bowl 60 halftime broadcast, is fast becoming more than a program — it’s becoming a movement. Billed as a celebration of “Faith, Family, and Freedom,” the event will bring together artists from across generations, uniting voices of gospel, country, and rock in a moment of national reflection and pride.
“When you hear Don and Jimmy sing again, it’s like hearing the sound of America’s soul,” said one production insider. “It’s the sound of the front porch, the church pew, and the open road — all rolled into one.”
The decision to invite The Statler Brothers’ surviving members has already struck a chord with millions of fans, who still remember their iconic hits like “Flowers on the Wall,” “Do You Know You Are My Sunshine,” and “Bed of Roses.” For many, their inclusion gives the halftime show a sense of authenticity — a link to an era when songs carried truth and heart, not just rhythm and noise.
Adding to the night’s emotional depth, the program will also include a special tribute to Charlie Kirk, whose faith and leadership inspired the vision behind the All-American Halftime movement. Erika Kirk will introduce the segment, featuring video footage of Charlie’s speeches and a live performance of “God Bless the U.S.A.” accompanied by a 200-voice choir of veterans and first responders.
“Charlie believed that America could sing her way back together,” Erika said, her voice trembling with emotion. “This night is for him — and for every person who still believes that unity begins with gratitude.”
Producers have hinted at several surprise appearances from country legends and rising stars alike, each offering performances meant to inspire reflection rather than rivalry. “We’re not trying to outshine the Super Bowl,” said one producer. “We’re trying to outshine the darkness.”
As word spreads, excitement continues to build. Supporters across the nation have taken to social media, calling the event “the halftime America has been waiting for.” Others are hailing it as a “revival disguised as a show.”
Whether fans tune in for nostalgia, faith, or patriotism, one thing is certain — The All-American Halftime Show is no longer just an idea. It’s a cultural moment. A reminder of what still holds the country together when everything else feels divided.
As the night approaches, millions will make their choice: the spectacle or the soul.
And as Erika Kirk so perfectly said,
“This isn’t just music. It’s America — standing tall, singing together again.”
