Lee Greenwood to perform at concert for Donald Trump's inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee has landed another performer. Country musician Lee Greenwood, best known for his song "God Bless the USA," has signed on to play the "Make America Great Again!" welcome celebration on January 19, one day before Trump is sworn in to office, sources with knowledge of the situation told CNNMoney.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee has previously announced three other acts for the celebrations surrounding the inaugural: The Radio City Rockettes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and 16-year-old "America's Got Talent" star Jackie Evancho.

An insider told CNNMoney that Trump's inauguration committee held several meetings with talent executives in D.C. after Christmas in an effort to secure additional performers. And one of the sources said "major announcements" regarding the lineup could come as soon as this week.

A spokesperson for the Presidential Inaugural Committee declined to comment.

While I love my country dearly, I cannot stand "God Bless the USA".

When this is over, will Greenwood get named an ambassador to some place?
