(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Singer, songwriter and entertainer Toby Keith will release his new Show Dog
Nashville single Old School Friday June 25 via all digital music platforms, a lyric video and an
iHeartMedia world premiere across 125 country radio stations.
Written by Ryan Hurd, Maren Morris and Brett Tyler, and co-produced by Keith with Kenny Greenberg,
Old School celebrates “small town sticking around.” “When I first heard the demo, it reminded me of
Steve Miller,” Keith says. “But it had a little bit of a rap to it – not unlike the can of worms I opened
years ago with ‘I Wanna Talk About Me’. Then it’s got the coolest melodic waterfall and I was like,
‘Yeah, I gotta cut this.’”
Additionally, another new track Happy Birthday America will be released on all platforms – and with
a lyric video – July 1. Keith will perform the song on Fox & Friends July 2. Across the holiday weekend,
he will host the iHeart July 4th Country Takeover special celebrating “land of the free and the home of
the brave.” Keith will also host United Station’s Nationally Syndicated Backstage Country Program
airing week day evenings July 5 through 9.

Happy Birthday America was written solely by Keith on the back of a boat under a fireworks display in
2020. A buddy said, “Happy Fourth of July, big dog,” and Keith responded, “Happy Birthday, America.
Whatever’s left of you.” And, of course, he immediately thought about writing that thought in song.
“It had been a screwed up 18 months,” Keith remembers. “I was seeing both sides having concern over
the end of democracy. We’ve fought and divided almost to the point it’s only about power and
winning. Charlie Daniels had a song saying ‘God save us all from religion.’ And I’m thinking, God save
us all from politicians.”
Both songs hail from a new full-length studio album due in the fall. Also later this year, Keith will
receive the Academy of Country Music’s prestigious Merle Haggard Spirit Award, honoring him for
“following his own path, crafting great songs and epitomizing Merle’s spirit.” Keith is also currently
nominated for induction in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He recently resumed his Country
Comes To Town Tour in Arizona and, earlier this month, raised another $1.4 million to help sick
children and their families in Oklahoma through his OK Kids Korral. See tour dates and more at

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
