On January 23 2024 , Cory Pesaturo had the once in a lifetime opportunity to play the US National Anthem to open voting in the United States as he played just 1 minute before the First Voting in the Nation began at Midnight in Dixville Notch, NH, as it has since 1960. His performance of the National Anthem was broadcast live on at least three national channels.

71 Media outlets from around the World from CNN & Fox News to Japanese TV, Singapore TV And  newspapers from Norway carried the event. Outlets such as the Boston Globe even ran the cover with the picture of Cory playing in front of the 6 voters who were about to begin the Democratic Process for Decision 2024. Cory used a 4/4 time to play the Anthem vs. the usual 3/4 time to give it a special flare.

Cory immediately flew back to LA to have many performances at the NAMM show and then he attended the Grammys for the 7th time.

This is great publicity for the accordion!
