Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Voice Season 16 champ Maelyn Jarmon.

This will mark the 39th year for A Capitol Fourth, which is televised on PBS each year.

The event will also feature a performance by Season 17 American Idol champ Laine Hardy, though the press release announcing the entertainment lineup doesn’t indicate what he will sing.

Maelyn will be accompanied in her anthem performance by the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of top pops conductor Jack Everly.

John Stamos will host. Other performers include Carole King, violinist Lindsey Stirling, Vanessa Williams, Lee Brice, Colbie Caillat and Yolanda Adams.

A Capitol Fourth will air on PBS from 8 to 9:30 p.m. on July 4.
