(L-R): Bobby Pinson, Toby Keith and Scotty Emerick
Toby Keith headlined a benefit show for The Bluebird Cafe earlier this week at the famed venue. Joining him were hit songwriters Bobby Pinson and Scotty Emerick, who have collaborated with the star on some of his biggest hits.
The event, part of the BirdSongs Series, raised $20,000 for the listening room. Contributing to the total was the cover charge and the auction of two autographed guitars donated by Takamine.
The Bluebird’s BirdSongs Series was created in 2010 to help pay off the debt accrued through NSAI’s purchase of the legendary club.
Keith was named NSAI’s Songwriter of the Decade for his hits from 2000-2010.
Further BirdSongs shows are in the works and will be announced at bluebirdcafe.com.
