A fireworks show will be set to Keith’s music

The City of Moore, Oklahoma will honor hometown hero Toby Keith during its 4th of July Celebration in the Heartland festivities tonight. The city will present a fireworks show set to Keith’s music starting around 9:45 at Buck Thomas Park. Attendees can tune in to 89.7 FM to hear the limited-range broadcast. The event is free and open to the public and begins at 2 pm.

Keith, who passed away in February 2024 at the age of 62 due to cancer, was one of country music’s biggest patriots and a staunch supporter of the US military. He wrote and recorded a long list of American classics, including “American Solider,” “American Ride,” “Happy Birthday America,” “Made in America,” “American Soldier,” “The Taliban Song,” and the controversial “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American).”

On July 29th, country music’s biggest stars will gather at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena for a live concert event, Toby Keith: American Icon. The action-packed special event will air on NBC on Wednesday, August 28th from 8-10 pm ET/PT. Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, The War And Treaty, and more will gather for a once-in-a-lifetime concert celebrating the life and legacy of the proud Oklahoman and global superstar.

A portion of the ticket sales will benefit The Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Korral, a cost-free home for families of children dealing with critical illnesses, and will go towards Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, one of the nation’s leading children’s hospitals and the top-rated in the Southeast.

One of the most prolific self-directed creative forces in country music’s modern era, singer-songwriter Toby Keith amassed 42 top 10 hits, 33 No. 1s, 44 million albums sold, 100 million BMI performances, and more than ten billion streams largely on the strength of his songwriting and producing. With songs including “Should’ve Been A Cowboy,” “How Do You Like Me Now?!,” “I Love This Bar,” and so many more, Keith’s influence crosses generations and his legacy reaches around the globe. He was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame shortly before his passing in February. Among his many accomplishments, the New York-based all-genre Songwriters Hall of Fame (2015), the National Medal of Arts (2021), the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (2021), and BMI Icon (2022) were his most treasured.
