Toby Keith to Entertain Troops on USO Tour to Germany and the Persian Gulf

ARLINGTON, VA. (Top40 Charts/ USO) - Music superstar Toby Keith is set to embark on his fifth USO tour to the Persian Gulf and Germany. The two-time winner of the "Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year" award will perform, shake hands with service men and women, tour a variety of job posts and provide a break from the daily grind for the troops. The tour is co-sponsored by U.S. Army Europe.

A strong supporter of our troops, the native Oklahoman previously traveled to Africa, Cuba, Belgium, Kuwait, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Italy, Germany and numerous times to Iraq and Afghanistan for the USO. Keith's devotion becomes even clearer when listening to some of his most popular tracks including "American Soldier."

Selling more than 30 million records, Keith has toured the world, bringing his blend of country music to a devoted fan base. The success led to a number of awards, including honors from the Academy of Country Music, the Country Music Association, the American Music Awards and the Billboard Music Awards. His latest effort, "Big Dog Daddy," is scheduled to be released June 12.
