Singing Cops Invited To Sing With Brad Paisley At Xfinity Center

BOSTON, MA — Brad Paisley's show at the Xfinity Center next month may have a special edition of the Boston Police Department's “Cop Pool Karaoke.’’

The country music singer invited Officers Stephen McNulty and Kim Tavares, whose rendition of "God Bless America" while driving around Boston went viral earlier this week, to join him on stage when he comes to Mansfield for a concert in August.

"Yep. Happy 4th everyone! Oh and if you officers wanna sing when I play MA in August, open invite," Paisley tweeted with the video of McNulty and Tavares.

Boston Police quickly replied; "“Hey @BradPaisley, our officers would be honored to sing with you when you come to town in August.’’

You could say the police officers with pipes might have been a little excited about the idea:

The police video is a parody of James Corden's "Car Pool Karaoke," but more a'cappella than karaoke. In it, Officers Stephen McNulty and Kim Tavares, both members of the department's media relations team, chat about Boston's July 4 celebration.

"It's the best," they agree.

Tavares asks McNulty what his favorite of the songs are, and he appears to think on it a bit and then settles on "God Bless America." Tavares agrees and says they should sing it some time.

So, as Tavares starts driving through the city in the cruiser; they do. And wow.

Both of the officers have sung the National Anthem and other patriotic songs at police events throughout the years, and at Fenway Park and the Fleetwood Center but never had the chance to actually sing together until their supervisor put them up to the video, they told Patch previously.

Paisley - who for those of you who don't know - has sold more than 11 million albums and won three Grammy Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 14 Country Music Association Awards, and two American Music Awards. He's topped charts and is scheduled to perform at the Xfinity Center Aug. 11.
