SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Country singer Rodney Atkins will perform a free concert in western Ohio to promote the Republican presidential ticket.
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio will help lead a rally Thursday evening in Springfield. His office says former Cincinnati Bengal and NFL Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz (MYOO'-nohs) also will take part.
Atkins is a Tennessee native who sang the national anthem at this year's Cincinnati Reds opening day baseball game. Among his hits are "It's America," ''If You're Going Through Hell," and "These Are My People."
The concert will come after Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan wrap up three days of campaigning this week in the swing state. Democratic President Barack Obama plans to campaign in Ohio on Wednesday.
