The Utica area's own Ryan Quinn, a contestant on the hit NBC show "The Voice", will sign the National Anthem at the Boilermaker Post Race Party.

Quinn will sign the National Anthem as a massive American Flag is unfurled at the FX Matt Brewery.

"This year has certainly been life-changing" said Quinn.  "I cannot wait to sing for the community that has fully and strongly supported me through this incredible experience."

Ryan is currently working on a recording an EP as well as performing locally and nationally.
