He sang in New York City after 9/11. He has performed at the Crystal Cathedral. Now join the Bakersfield Community Concert Association for an unforgettable evening of exceptional music by Daniel Rodriguez , America's Beloved Tenor, "The Singing Policeman" in concert at Rabobank Theater. Daniel performs with piano accompaniment many favorites including Broadway, Mario Lanza hits, patriotic selections, spiritual, operatic selections and more.

Former New York City police officer, Daniel Rodriguez has experienced a meteoric rise to fame. He was one of his department's designated anthem singers on September 11, 2001, when fate intervened -- he rendered a capella performances of "God Bless America" and the National Anthem that proved far greater than a patriotic gesture. Ringing, heartfelt and beautiful, his performance stirred the hearts of the entire nation.

Since then, he has performed at venues ranging from 2002 Winter Olympics, to Disneyland, to The White House. A pillar of courage and faith, Daniel Rodriguez is truly an inspiration, who freely shares his deep appreciation for life, God and country.

Daniel Rodriguez will sing and speak about the journey of his life, from childhood memories to Carnegie Hall appearances, including a tribute to Mario Lanza, opera selections and "Bring Him Home," dedicated to American military personnel. Joining him on stage will be Marla Rodriguez and Marissa Dikkenberg.
