Big, Bad & Thirsty: Toby On Tour
Show Dog big dog Toby Keith opened his Biggest &
Baddest summer tour in Birmingham, AL last week, and radio
promotion for the tour has a theme this time out. “It’s called
the Thirsty Monkey Lounge and it happens before the show
in a little trailer,” says Clear Channel WDXB/Birmingham
Promotions Director Daniel Wyatt. “It’s just like a trailer
park trailer, but smaller and it’s a very cool experience for the
listeners and radio peeps.”
Cox WZZK PD Justin Case calls it, “A backstage
experience like no other. There were snacks, beverages and
gifts for all winners. Toby introduced his Show Dog acts,
Trailer Choir, Carter’s Chord and Mica Roberts. Each sang
two songs. Everyone got a pic with Toby and the rest of the
artists and the hang lasted about an hour. Everyone was blown
away by the casual party-like atmosphere. It was very relaxed,
which only added to the cool factor.”
Of course, that’s only the beginning. “When the concert
started on the big stage, Trailer Choir immediately won the
crowd over with ‘Rockin’ the Beer Gut,’” Case says. “They
also talked about their song being in the new Toby movie and
proceeded to knock out, ‘Off The Hillbilly Hook.’ Carter’s
Chord did a couple of tunes, showed strong harmonies and a
confident rapport with the crowd. Montgomery Gentry did
what they do best -- got the crowd rockin’ with all their hits.
Both guys look great, by the way. Fit and ready for action.

Sidweber Joins Promotion
Merry-Go-’Round
Today was quite a day in the regional promotion world.
In addition to the stories on Mike Sirls and Eric Beggs in
today’s Country Aircheck Today, we got word late Monday
that Capitol/Nashville Southwest regional Mara Sidweber had
resigned. We should be able to tell you where she’s going soon.
In the meantime, Capitol/Nashville Sr. VP/Promotion Jimmy
Harnen tells CA that, at least for the time being, VP/Radio

Strategies & Field Marketing Shane Allen will handle the region
in addition to his other label responsibilities.
Monday’s CAT reported that RCA/Nashville Dir./Midwest
Promotion Mike Sirls was leaving his label home of the last
eight years next month to take a little break from the business.
This was his second stint with Nipper, having previously served
a six-year run. For the next month, reach him at Mike.Sirls@
sonybmg.com. RCA VP/Promotion Keith Gale can be contacted
about the open post at [email protected].
Also yesterday, the CAT broke the news that Eric Beggs had
resigned from Show Dog, where he spent the last two years as
Southeast regional.
WSIX Dreams For St. Jude
WSIX (The Big 98)/Nashville completed its St. Jude
Dream House promotion last night, raising $1.6 million dollars
in the process. The station sold $100 tickets for a chance to
win the home, with the lucky winners hailing from Clarksville,
TN. “Everybody here is on cloud 9(8) today,” says PD Keith
Kaufman. “To think that when we ask our audience to send
us their money for
two days during
radiothon...they
respond by sending
over $417,000. Then
we ask them to spend
$100 on a raffle ticket
and 16,000 do it -- it’s
mind boggling.” Since
starting the Dream
House promotion in
2005, The Big 98 has
raised $5.2 million for
St. Jude.
Kenny Root, Root, Roots For Cubbies
Prior to Saturday’s “Poets & Pirates Tour” date before
50,000 fans in Chicago’s iconic Soldier Field, Kenny Chesney
dropped by the friendly confines of Wrigley Field to sing “Take
Me Out To The Ball Game” during the seventh inning stretch.

My Tunes: Music That Shaped My Life
CMT Radio Network’s Angela Gimlin
discusses her most meaningful songs, albums
or concerts:
1. Andrew Lloyd Webber: His work is
beautiful and catchy. Hey, don’t make fun.
2. U2, Achtung Baby: U2 can do no wrong in
my eyes. (Okay, maybe that “Lemon” song was
a tad obnoxious, but cut the kids a break!) I
was introduced to them at a young age and
one of my goals in life is to see them live
before I die.
3. Garth Brooks, Oklahoma City, July 1997: I was working as a part
time jock for KLAW/Lawton, OK and we had helped him sell a ton of
tickets in our neck of the woods. I had never seen such a show and
don’t expect to again. I became a lifelong fan of my fellow Okie.
4.“Boomer Sooner”: You know, the University of Oklahoma fight
song? Hey, I’m not copying Gator Michaels. I am simply saying we
both have great taste in college sports teams.
5. Anything by Patsy Cline: Her voice could melt cheese.
• A highly regarded song or album you’ve never heard: Anything
by Rush. I am told I need to be a musician to understand.
• An “important” piece of music you just don’t get: “Smells Like
Teen Spirit” by Nirvana.
• An album you played or listened to incessantly: Abbey Road by
The Beatles. I actually truly discovered the Beatles in college. Being a
theater dork, we would hang around the green room and this album
was constantly piped through the sound system. Since then, I think I
have burned through about five copies of this CD.
The Cubs were trailing
the Chicago White Sox
3-1 at the time, but
shortly after Chesney
was done and joined
Cubs’ broadcasters to
chat in the bottom half
of the inning, a pair of Cubs hit back-to-back homers to tie the
game. Remarked Cubs’ broadcaster Bob Brenley to Chesney
after the second shot, “I didn’t know Derrek Lee and Aramis

Ramirez were country music fans, but you certainly inspired
them.” Pictured with Chesney as he exhorted the crowd (“three
strikes you’re out”) are his father (red cap) and ABC-TV’s Kirk
Herbstreet.
Jewel To Jimmy: PDs Are OK
“There’s nothing better than radio program directors,”
smirked Jimmy Kimmel while interviewing Jewel on his show
last week. “Salt of the earth.” The context of the conversation
was the Valory artist’s move to country and how she was
introducing herself to Country radio. And there she was sticking
up for the format. “No,
actually...they really consider
themselves guardians of
the format. They care. They
love music still. So it’s nice
not to have just a bunch of
jaded people.” See the full
interview here.

52% to 21,476, while music tracks in the system increased 80%

(continued from page 1)
“Toby’s stage has been revamped and the show opens with a
video talking about his new movie and some skits featuring the
Ford F-150. I don’t want to spoil anything, just don’t miss the
video open. The audience loved it...and Toby.
“The show is up tempo with only a few ballads, keeping the
fans on their feet for the whole concert. The slower songs give
couples a chance to snuggle and sway. Mica Roberts gets called
out to solo with the Easy Money Band and then duet with Toby on
‘Let’s Get Trashed.’ Every seat seems like front row with the
giant video wall behind Toby. There are explosions, fireworks
and confetti cannons. The show is loud and rowdy... and the
crowd was too.”
Wyatt agrees, calling it, “Probably one of the best Toby
shows I have ever seen. The stage set is a giant front end of the

new Ford truck. Very impressive. In all, a good rowdy time sure
to impress hardcore Toby fans and general country music fans
along with jaded radio workers.”
“With gas prices at $4.00 or higher, this show provides the
diversion everyone deserves,” Case concludes. “You get your
money’s worth in hit songs alone. The awesome stage show is
icing on the cake.”
