RED SOLO CUPDATE: TWO CMT NOMS FOR TOBY KEITH Wild Shot Mezcal Bar Planned For Live In Overdrive Summer Dates

(NASHVILLE,
Tenn.) The biggest viral hit in country music history continues to pour forth
accolades for singer, songwriter, entertainer and premium spirits innovator
Toby Keith. "Red Solo Cup," the video that drew 15 million views (and
counting) has spawned Best Video and Best Male Video CMT Music Awards
nominations.
Named Video of the Year and earning accolades as the most-talked about
performance on the April 1 ACM Awards in Las Vegas, the "Red Solo
Cup" sensation now prepares to party on another nationally televised
event, June 6 in Nashville. Just a few days later, Toby takes it on the road as
his Ford F-Series sponsored Live In Overdrive Tour kicks off June 14 in
Salt Lake City.
No empty cups on this trek, however, as Keith's segment-leading Wild Shot
Mezcal is bringing an inflatable bar to select summer tour dates, offering fans
the chance to enjoy Blue Mezcalitas. One of many popular drinks made with
Toby's signature spirit, the cocktail is another reminder of the still
relatively new beverage's quick rise to prominence.
Speaking of quick rises, the follow-up to "Red Solo Cup," "Beers
Ago," is shooting up the singles charts. Both songs are from Keith's
current album Clancy's Tavern, which debuted at No. 1 on the country
charts. The collection has also spawned the No. 1 smash "Made In
America."
Keith is currently in the midst of his 10th USO tour, and has already met or
performed for 4,000 service members. The 12-day trek has thus far included
stops on the USS Abraham Lincoln and at a U.S. military installation in
Bahrain. All-in, Toby has helped lift the spirits of more than 182,600 service
members during a full decade of USO tours. For photos from this USO tour go to:https://uso.box.com/s/k0cfrkj7i0ils374y71j
