Grab your cowboy hats and red solo cups — one of the biggest tribute concerts ever is set to take place next month. The star-studded event will be called “Toby Keith: American Icon,” and will take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Big name artists who will pay tribute to Keith include Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Korral, as well as the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. This massive, once-in-a-lifetime tribute show is scheduled for Monday, July 29. Tickets will be available starting Friday, June 28, through Ticketmaster.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
