“It’s an absolute honour and privilege to be a part of the 111th Grey Cup and the SiriusXM Kickoff Show,” said Riegling a news release. “Growing up, I can remember gathering around the TV every year with friends and family to watch the big game and now I’m beyond thankful that my music is the reason I’ll be in attendance this year. See you there!”
