Keepin’ it Country Tornado Relief Auction
When news of the tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma, we here at Keepin’ it Country wanted to find a way to help and to make sure support and attention is still being given to victims in Oklahoma after the news stations had left the area. While the aftermath of the tragic tornadoes may not be making headlines anymore around the world, there is still a lot of work to be done in the area hit hardest by the disaster. That’s why we decided to organize an online charity auction for tornado relief with some of our favorite artists, labels, Festivals, and even hockey players. All proceeds from these auctions, which are to be held over the next few days right here on Keepin’ it Country, will benefit the United Way of Central Oklahoma and their tornado relief efforts. All donations to the organization will be used for victims and relief efforts – NOT administrative fees.
Items up for auction include VIP Grand Ole Opry Tickets and meet and greet with Sarah Darling, an autographed Love & Theft guitar, Nashville Predators tickets from Mike Fisher, an Eric Church vinyl prize pack, Boots & Hearts tickets, autographed plaques, Rascal Flatts packages and MORE! All of these items have been graciously donated to us exclusively for our event.
The devastating May tornadoes have left people stunned and wondering how to help. United Way of Central Oklahoma advises that monetary donations are the best way to assist. The organization has activated its disaster relief fund effective Monday, May 20, 2013, so individuals may contribute specifically to the May tornadoes relief and recovery efforts.
1. Give online to the May Tornadoes Relief Fund located on their home page at unitedwayokc.org. If you are having trouble donating online, there are two other ways to give:
2. Give by credit card – call 405-523-3598, 405-523-3597, or our main number: 405-236-8441
3. Give by mailing a check to United Way of Central Oklahoma, P.O. Box 837, Oklahoma City, OK 73101 with notation for May Tornadoes Relief.
Fund dollars will be distributed without administrative fees to United Way Partner Agencies working on the tornado relief efforts. Agencies must clearly prove services provided and demonstrate need for financial support. Organizations that receive United Way disaster fund assistance will be evaluated and held strictly accountable. As our Partner Agencies work together to meet the immediate needs in the recovery efforts, the May Tornadoes Relief Fund will serve not only immediate needs, but intermediate, and long-term care for years to come.
Please join us in helping those that need it most and show how country music cares, even when the rest of the world has started to forget. We will be releasing news about each item up for auction right here on Keepin’ it Country and through our social media pages. Items will begin to be posted tonight and over the next few days.
For more information please contact us on @keepinitblog, facebook.com/keepinitcountry or at contact@keepinitcountryblog.com.
EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Marshall Dane
Canadian singer-songwriter Marshall Dane released his sophomore country album “One Of These Days” earlier this month and we got the chance to talk to Marshall about his brand new record! In our exclusive interview with him we discuss why he’s so emotional talking about the record, what song is hard for him to sing live, what it is about country music that he loves so much, and why country fans should check him out. Get to know Marshall below in our interview.
The Canadian country rocker was nominated for the Country Music Association of Ontario (CMAO)’s Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year. It was recorded in London, Ontario in June 2012 and is the follow-up to his successful “Running Stop Signs.”
Check out our interview with Marshall Dane and remember to pick up your copy of “One Of These Days” from iTunes.
Country songs for Memorial Day
Country artists may just be the most patriotic out of any genre of music. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that if we were to put together a list of every country song that pays tribute to the military, that we’d have a never ending playlist. With tomorrow being Memorial Day in the United States, we wanted to put together a list of country songs that can help fans remember what this holiday is all about. From artists that perform for USO troops serving overseas, to artists who have hit singles with a remembrance theme, we put together our list for a 2013 memorial day playlist. Our picks aren’t in order.
Check out our picks below and let us know what songs you’ll be listening to for the rest of the weekend.
AMERICAN SOLDIER – TOBY KEITH
Originally released in November 2003 as a single from his album “Shock’n Y’all.” The song was a co-write by Toby with Chuck Cannon and became a number one hit on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs Chart for four weeks. It was inspired by the times Toby had met USO troops serving overseas, and he wanted to find a way to show his support for them and their families. The video was directed by Michael Salomon and filmed at an actual US Air Force Base in Edwards, California with off-duty soldiers, reservists and their families.
Oklahoma country stars reflect on tornado
Our thoughts remain with Oklahoma and the victims of the tornado earlier this week. Country music stars are also reflecting and praying for the region after an EF 5, the highest rating a tornado can receive, touched down in the region.
Toby Keith said:
“This storm has devastated the community that I grew up in. I rode my bike through those neighborhoods. I have family and friends in Moore. My heart and prayers go to those that have lost so much. But Moore is strong and we will persevere. God be with you all.”
“Please pray for my Okie’s today and in the coming days. I am devastated to watch the footage from afar. Feeling pretty helpless today.”
“I’m thinking about and praying for my beautiful home state and the people in it tonight. Growing up in Tornado Alley, you always know what could happen. It doesn’t change how devastating it is when something does happen. #pray.”
“Pray. That’s all we can do. Pray for peace for Oklahoma.”
“Just landed in LA and hearing about all the tornados in Oklahoma right now… Get somewhere safe!”

Trace Adkins Wins All-Star Celebrity Apprentice
Trace Adkins is the first All-Star Celebrity Apprentice winner!
The live finale aired last night on NBC, and Donald Trump chose Adkins over Penn Jillette for the title after several weeks of competition.
The country star raised $1,554,072 for the American Red Cross, while the Vegas super magician raised $598,655 for Opportunity Village. Adkins now adds $250,000 to that total for being crowned the winner.
The celebrity apprentice is always fun to watch, but more importantly, the stars are all playing for charity and that’s what makes it great!
You’re hired, Trace Adkins. Congratulations!
