Toby Keith
Mike Evans’ tribute to Toby Keith is an honest and energetic portrayal of this Country Superstar’s love of his life in music. With a repertoire of over 40 of Toby’s hits from the last 15 years, Mike custom tailors each show to fit the venue and anticipated audience. Crowd participation is encouraged and welcomed, whether it be slow dancing to Toby’s romantic love songs or raising a glass and singing along with some of the bawdier ballads of the wilder side of life.

From Shoulda Been A Cowboy to I Love This Bar, As Good As I Once Was, and High Maintenance Woman, Mike nails the look, sound, and character of his tribute like no other. His representation of Toby’s voice has been described as “seemingly effortless” and “completely believable”. But not content with just sounding right, Mike continually works on costuming and showmanship to add to every performance. And with each release of a new album or single, he’s quick to learn Toby’s latest hits to be able to satisfy any request for any encore or “special” song.

Mike has fronted a few area bands over the years and still loves to sit in vocally or on harp with a few now and then when he bumps into them at local bars. He was even invited to sing the National Anthem at the Shrine Circus in Detroit this year.

This performer’s experience in Casinos and clubs throughout the Western states and other venues in the Midwest and Canada shines through in each and every show. Let your crowd feel like the last person who said, “…it was just like the last time we went to see Toby...”
