Luke Bryan shares a Fourth of July memory where he held all the cards... or at least all the fireworks.

Luke recalls, “Some of my favorite Fourth of July memories were spent on Lake Blackshear down in Georgia with my family. I was always kind of in charge of driving home from Tennessee and picking up all the fireworks and my nieces and nephews always got excited when I rolled in because they knew I had all the fireworks. But, it was always a great memory, and I miss not getting to do that as much as we used to.”

Bryan has been tapped to perform during NBC’s annual Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks, live from New York City’s Brooklyn Bridge.

The coverage will air live at 8pm – 10pm ET on NBC. Maren Morris and Brad Paisley will also perform.
