The city of Santa Clarita is proud to announce that Santa Clarita singer-songwriter Karli Webster is scheduled to sing the national anthem prior to the start of the Santa Clarita Marathon, presented by Parkway Motorcars.

Webster placed in the Top 24 on Season 13 of NBC’s hit show “The Voice,” and will perform the anthem at the marathon and half marathon start at approximately 6:55 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4.

Webster was chosen by “The Voice” coach Miley Cyrus following her rendition of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” during the show’s blind auditions. Her cover of “You’re So Vain” reached the Top 100 in sales on iTunes, as well as a spot in the Top 40 on the pop charts. The video of her singing the song has garnered more than two million views on YouTube.

Webster, who was named after Carly Simon, went on to reach No. 37 on the iTunes chart and No. 17 on the pop charts for her cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” which she covered with fellow contestant Addison Agen.

Webster is finishing up production on her brand-new five-song EP, “BITTERSWEET,” with two-time Grammy Award winning producer Dennis Herring. Her first single is releasing this fall.
