Country music stars come together for Toby Keith tribute | Music City Minute

Aug 2, 2024, 9:19 AM

Country music fans came together for a very special event this week. The all-star Toby Keith tribute concert took place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Featured performers included Trace Adkins, Eric Church, Brantley Gilbert, Parker McCollum, Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson rode in on a horse. One of the most touching moments was when Toby’s daughter, Krystal Keith, performed “Don’t Let the Old Man In.” Another special moment was provided by HARDY, when he revealed footage from Toby Keith’s last studio recording session. The video showed Keith laying down vocals on a cover of Joe Diffie’s, “Ships That Don’t Come In”, for HARDY’s latest “Hixtape” album. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house by the time the video ended. For those of us who weren’t present for the show, “Toby Keith: American Icon,” was taped and will air August 28 on NBC.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
