If you happen to be at Thursday night’s Washington Nationals game against the Boston Red Sox, make sure to pay attention to the guy playing “The Star-Spangled Banner”—it will be Mike Massa, the guitarist for Richmond pop/rock band Palaminos, who has been tapped to perform the anthem as a guitar instrumental.

The band’s new album, “Egos,“ is streaming on its Web site, http://www.palominosmusic.com.
