Kirk Young of Tilton,  with fellow Average Joes quartet members, Matt Mercier of Hooksett, Eric Ruthenberg of Merrimack, and Marc Rosenbaum of Sudbury, Mass., performed the national anthem at the New England Revolution’s home match Oct. 23 against the Montreal Impact.

The Average Joes earned the opportunity by edging out the competition during the fourth annual New England Revolution National Anthem Auditions, which took place in March. Young and the Average Joes performed an outstanding rendition of the National Anthem and fired up the crowd leading into the Revs’ final game of the season, in which they secured a 3-0 victory.
