From his first #1 smash “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” to his upcoming album 35 mph Town, Toby Keith has been one of the most consistent self-directed hit makers of his era. From one of his previous collections, Clancy’s Tavern, the lead single, “Made In America,” topped the charts as one of the fastest rising songs in a long line of chart burners from Keith’s pen. The second hit, “Red Solo Cup,” has become the most remarkable and commercially successful Country single in recent memory with a viral video with more than 30 million views while having topped the top downloaded Country songs charts. The first single from his upcoming album, “Drunk Americans,” debuted at #1 Most Added on both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts.
At the core of Toby’s unparalleled success is his songwriting, which has powered an astounding succession of hit songs to the tune of more than 85 million BMI performances on commercial radio stations worldwide. This summer Toby was inducted in to the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and he has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association International with its “Songwriter/Artist of the Decade” distinction, is a three-time BMI “Country Songwriter/Artist of the Year” and was named the American Country Awards’
“Artist of the Decade.” His albums have sold more than 38 million copies, ranking him among the top-selling all-genre artists on Billboard’s Top 200 Artists of the Decade. Keith is also Billboard’s #1 Country Artist of the Decade and #1 Country Songwriter of the Decade. His tours, including 2014’s Shut Up And Hold On Tour, long sponsored by Ford Trucks, have drawn more than one million fans each year for the last decade. This year’s Good Times & Pick Up Lines Tour presented by Ford F-Series kicked off in May and continues through the year with shows in major cities including Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. But Toby’s most rewarding experiences, as exhibited in his continual devotion to them, come from giving back. Whether it’s helping sick children and their families in his native Oklahoma through the Toby Keith Foundation and their cost-free home, the OK Kids Korral, or supporting U.S. Troops including 11 USO Tours throughout the world, Keith has never lost touch with the most important things in life.

Mohegan Sun Arena welcomes the ‘The Ghosts of Christmas Eve’ Tour on November 27th for two shows
UNCASVILLE, CT (September 14, 2015) – Earlier this month, Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) announced the dates of its 2015 Winter Tour based on the group’s cherished Yuletide story, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve.” Now, TSO is pleased to announce that each concert ticket will come with a digital copy of the group’s highly-anticipated upcoming studio album, Letters From The Labyrinth (Lava Records/Republic Records). Letters From The Labyrinth, which is set to be released November 13th, 2015 is TSO’s first full-length album since 2009’s Night Castle and fans who purchase tickets to the 2015 Winter Tour will be among the first to hear it.
TSO returns to Mohegan Sun Arena for two shows on Friday, November 27th, beginning at 3:00pm & 8:00pm.
Tickets are $52.50 and $42.50 and go on sale Friday, September 18th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call any Ticketmaster Charge by Phone number; 1.800.745.3000 or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets may also be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, September 19th subject to availability.
For every ticket purchased online, fans will receive a digital download of Letters From The Labyrinth on the album’s release date. For more details, visit: www.trans-siberian.com
Letters From The Labyrinth is a bold, conceptually provocative song cycle that finds TSO creator, lyricist and composer Paul O’Neill along with his composers, arrangers, singers and players pushing the proverbial envelope yet again — this time with what he calls TSO’s “first straight-ahead album” in the wake of its signature rock operas. Fans of the rock operas will still be sated, as the 2015 Winter Tour is based on TSO’s multi-platinum DVD and long running PBS fundraiser, the “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve.” This enchanting story follows the journey of a young runaway who breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater seeking shelter from the cold, and the ghostly visions she experiences from that concert hall’s past. “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” features such lasting crowd-pleasers as “Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24,” “O’ Come All Ye Faithful,” “Good King Joy,” “Christmas Canon,” “Music Box Blues,” “Promises To Keep” and “This Christmas Day.” TSO will take the 2015 Winter Tour to 60 cities across North America to perform 100 shows.
This year’s tour follows the massive success of The 2014 Winter Tour, which grossed more than $51 million in just 52 days, played to nearly 1,000,000 fans. In total, TSO has played in excess of 1,600 shows for more than 11 million fans cementing itself as one of the world’s biggest arena rock acts. Trans-Siberian Orchestra has consistently ranked in the Top 10 for attendance and grosses according to Pollstar, the touring industry trade publication, and was named among the “Top Touring Artists of the Decade” by Billboard (in 2009). This ongoing success is due to Paul O’Neill’s vision. O’Neill has melded the sound and fury of rock with the storytelling of Broadway to create a unique amalgamation he calls “rock theater” that leaves crowds of all ages speechless. With new fans being introduced to the wonder presented on stage every year, and TSO constantly striving to provide a new experience, audiences can be assured the best is yet to come in 2015.
As in all previous years, a portion of all ticket sales will go to benefit select national and local charities. To date, TSO has donated approximately $12 million to charities.
