Made In America – A Tribute To Toby Keith

Celebrate the all-American sounds of country music with Made in America, a tribute to Toby Keith. Sing along to honky-tonk favorites like “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” and “Beer for My Horses.” It’s a night of boot-stomping fun you won’t want to miss! Doors open at 5 pm.

The Artist:

Made In America, a 2023 Josie Award nominee for Best Tribute Band, delivers an electrifying Toby Keith experience with performances across the U.S. Featuring Chicago’s own Paul Wenzel—hailed by members of Toby Keith’s Easy Money Band as the most convincing Toby Keith tribute artist—the eleven-piece band captures the energy, look, and feel of a real Toby Keith concert. Performing over 50 shows annually, Made In America features a horn section with musicians who have toured with legends like The Ides of March and Ray Charles. Paul, a Chicago Music Awards winner for Best Country Music Performer, brings authenticity to every performance. Each show is proudly dedicated to America’s veterans and first responders.
