NASHVILLE – January 20, 2004 – The night before the AFC and NFC
champions battle it out on the field for the coveted Super Bowl XXXVIII
championship,CMT is throwing its own brand of tailgate party to celebrate the current
champion of country music Toby Keith. CMT’s high-powered
performance special, TOBY KEITH’S SHOCK ‘N Y’ALL SUPER BOWL PARTY: A CMT CROSSROADS SPECIAL, part of the National Football League Super Bowl Concert Series, will be telecast live Saturday, Jan. 31 at 10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT.
This historic one-hour concert will kick-off the country’s biggest
sporting event and will be telecast live from Houston, the home of Super Bowl
XXXVIII. The show will feature special musical performances by
superstar Toby Keith, supported by his band and a gathering of very special
friends.
Scheduled to join Keith are Texan legend and collaborator Willie Nelson;
Sammy Hagar; Darryl McDaniels (DMC); Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili
Peppers); and
jazz musician Wayman Tisdale.
"The Super Bowl always marks a time when friends can get together,
enjoy the best game of football, talk about which television commercial they
think is the funniest and be entertained by some of the best artists music has
to offer," says Keith. "It’s an honor to be asked to be a part of the event
this year and I can’t wait to get on stage with my friends from country,
rock and pop music for all our fans."
Keith heads into 2004 after having a stellar 2003 year,
beginning with the hit "Who’s Your Daddy," which spent five weeks at
No. 1, and continuing with country music domination of the singles "Beer For
My Horses" and "I Love This Bar" which both spent six weeks at No. 1.
Since its release in November 2003, Keith’s latest album "Shock ‘N Y’All" has
sold over two and a half million copies and remains number one on the
Country Album chart while his previous, quadruple-platinum album, "Unleashed,"
holds steady in the Top 5.
