Grace Grad to Sing for 49ers/Seahawks Game

Posted by Terry White on November 17, 2006

Matt Nightingale (right), a 1994 graduate of Grace College and former Grace employee, will sing the National Anthem for the San Francisco 49ers/Seattle Seahawks game this Sunday, November 19.

The game begins at 1:05 p.m. PST, and Matt, who won the 49ers National Anthem audition contest, will be singing around 12:45. Matt, his wife, Luanne, and sons Josh and Jake will see the game from a box seat at the stadium.

A father of four, Matt is a licensed minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church and the Pastor of Music and Creative Arts at Peninsula Covenant Church in Redwood City, California.

The 49ers website says, “In his spare time, Matt has been pursuing a career in music, and recently released Still Standing, ‘an album of remarkable passion and candid personal confession with a hefty dose of pure pop confection thrown in for good measure.’” For more information, visit www.mattnightingale.com.
