Painter Joe Everson's patriotic performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was all the more moving since, instead of only belting out the tune, the song was accompanied by a live canvas painting of a patriotic scene.
As he broke into the anthem, he also began painting "Raising of the Flag on Iwo Jima," an iconic photograph depicting U.S. Marines setting up Old Glory during World War II.
At first, it was unclear what he was painting, but as Everson turned the canvas upside down and painted the stripes of the American flag with one swipe as he sang the final notes, the crowd erupted in cheers.
