week.
At the same time, Keith’s Ford Trucks sponsored Big Dog Daddy Tour is in the top 10 on TicketNews.com’s list of the week’s Most Sought After Tickets, joining the Broadway production Wicked and Boston Red Sox as the biggest in-demand events. And on the airwaves, “Love Me If You Can” has leapt into the top 20 and continues to be one of the most added records at Country radio.Another indication of Keith’s strong pull with fans came with a charity auction held recently by Country station WMZQ/Washington. A “Toby Keith Super Seats” package to his upcoming show including autographed director’s chairs, tickets and backstage passes to his upcoming show was auctioned on air. The bidding came down to two individuals, and Keith agreed to honor both bids raising a whopping $22,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.
A similar auction held around last year’s show in the area netted $18,000.The across-the-board enthusiasm follows the No. 1 overall debut of Keith’s most recent album Big Dog Daddy. The acclaimed entertainer and songwriter’s most personal offering to date features Keith as producer, writer, vocalist and background vocalist on a disc released on his own Show Dog Nashville label.His second release on Show Dog, BDD is his third to debut at No. 1 overall and fifth to top the Country sales chart. His Big Dog Daddy Tour is in full swing, with a packed schedule of shows running through late September.
