The Super Bowl will have some HBCU flavor as the Southern University “Human Jukebox” will be a part of the festivities.

Director Kendric Taylor announced that The Human Jukebox will headline the pregame show following a performance on the Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday.

“This band has been on many platforms — the Super Bowl seven times, three presidential inauguration parades,” Taylor said. “This is something that nobody knows. We’re going to tell it here on air — we’re going to be at the Super Bowl — headlining. The Southern University Human Jukebox — the pregame.
