Toby Keith Tickets Continued

Toby Keith was born in Clinton, Oklahoma. His grandmother owned a supper club and Keith became interested in the musicians who came there to play. He got his first guitar at the age of 8.

In 1993, Toby Keith went to Nashville, Tennessee. He hung out and busked on Music Row and at a place called Houndogs. He distributed copies of his demo tape while playing here. A flight attendant and fan of Toby Keith gave a copy of the demo tape to Harold Shedd, a Mercury Records executive, while he was traveling on a flight she was working. Shedd liked what he heard, went to see Toby Keith perform live and then signed him to a recording contract with Mercury. His debut album, Toby Keith was released that same year. He has since released many albums and enjoyed a number of hits.
