June 6, 2012 Toby Keith, Zac Brown Band, Jamey Johnson, Darius Rucker and Willie Nelson all have one thing in common: country music (Hey -- if there's something else, we don't know about it). The country supergroup took the stage halfway through the 2012 CMT Music Awards to perform Nelson's 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die.'
June 6, 2012 Toby Keith and actress Kristen Bell eventually took the stage to host the 2012 CMT Music Awards, but if you followed the opening moments of the show, you learned it wasn't easy for them to get along. The two spent time campaigning to host the show themselves in a pre-taped video segment that featured cameos from President Obama, Mitt Romney, Bon Jovi, Willie Nelson, Mario Lopez and more.
With only a handful of days until Toby Keith kicks off his 2012 Live in Overdrive Tour, the country superstar has served up the first glimpse of the new stage setup via his official Twitter account.
Some of Toby Keith's 'bad A' patriotic songs can make him sound like a tough guy, but the truth is that the country star is always willing to donate time and money to help sick children and other people in need. For his latest act of generosity, the 9th Annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic helped raise $664,000 for OK Kids Korral, a facility that will provide comfortable housing for families of children with cancer.
May 21, 2012 Life as an independent artist has come to an end for Tim McGraw. After being without a record label for six months, the singer signed a new recording contract.

Toss back those red solo cups, as Toby Keith has signed on to host the 2012 CMT Music Awards, which will air Wednesday, June 6 at 8PM ET on CMT and at CMT.com.

Later this week, Toby Keith is gearing up for his 9th-annual Toby Keith and Friends Golf Classic event -- but this year's will be extra special. To kick the whole thing off, Keith will be present for the groundbreaking of the OK Kids Korral in Oklahoma City -- a home-away-from-home for children and families being treated at the Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center and other nearby facilities.
Toby Keith is known for being a seriously patriotic country star -- maybe even the most patriotic one in the bunch. After all, some of his top hits have had names like 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,' 'American Soldier' and 'Made in America.' No, Toby Keith has never been shy about his love for America -- nor his support for our troops. In fact, he's in the midst of celebrating 10 years of giving back by playing for soldiers in the Middle East on his USO tours.
We think it's safe to say that this summer is shaping up to be one of Thomas Rhett's best yet. The young singer-songwriter just found out he has been summoned by Toby Keith to be one of the openers on the 'Red Solo Cup' hitmaker's headlining Live in Overdrive Tour.
