According to reports, the duo will be gracing the microphone to get the night’s festivities started.
Who Is Tigirlily Gold?
The sister duo, consisting of Krista and Kendra Slaubaugh, have been playing music together since they were children and officially formed their group while in high school. The sisters are from North Dakota originally and would spend much of their childhood traveling across the Midwest playing different venues as they grew in popularity.
The sisters’ real first break in the business came after moving to Nashville where they landed a weekly residence at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row on Nashville’s famous Broadway after posting cover songs to social media and saw their following grow as a result.
Tigirlily Gold’s Body of Work
The sisters have released two EPs in their career, the first of which being self-named and titled “Tigirlily” in 2021. That was followed by releasing a second EP titled “Blonde” this year, which includes their first single “Shoot Tequila.”
“Shoot Tequila” charted on Billboard Country Airplay and has been their biggest hit to date with more to come.
Singing the National Anthem on a World Stage
The sisters have been making music and performing all their lives, and surely have played in front of great crowds throughout their young careers. Still, Thursday night in front of the crowd at Lambeau Field, plus the millions of fans worldwide, promises to be their biggest stage yet.
While the duo may be relatively early in their global success, an opportunity like this one may go a long way in putting them squarely on the map and will surely add to their list of fans once their performance is over.
With this being a chance of a lifetime, and one they will surely hit out of the park, it is safe to say that Thursday night will not be the last we hear of Tigirlily Gold.
