PINEHURST –– There is nothing like a live rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. It’s even more memorable when it’s performed by a 6-year-old.

Now, the young Christopher Sverdsten is headed for Las Vegas where he will perform at the National Finals Rodeo. 

Christopher is a student at Pinehurst Elementary School who loves to sing. His dad, Chris Sverdsten, is a singer in the popular local band, Sverwood, and it appears the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. 

Christopher recently won a voter-based contest and will open the sixth day of competition at the rodeo with his version of the national anthem. The boy is one of 10 people chosen to perform the song at the event.
