In honor of Independence Day, we're taking a look at WAY-FM artist renditions of our National Anthem - the Star Spangled Banner. They've sung it for various sporting events, television specials, or maybe just for fun as a band. Now, just for kicks, we're having a little showdown!
Vote for your favorite in the poll below the clips!
