Toby Keith TV; Songwriters visit Martha’s Vineyard

Toby Keith headlines CMT’s Invitation Only Oct. 8. In this one-hour special, Keith performs songs from his new album which hit stores this past Tuesday, including the title track “Bullets In the Gun,” plus opens up during a question and answer session.

The 2nd Annual Martha’s Vineyard Songwriters Festival, hosted by BMI, was held Sept. 24-26 on the tiny east coast island. Locals and vacationers enjoyed performances from an eclectic crew, which represented a cross-section of indie up-and-comers, successful young hit-makers, and renowned Nashville chart-toppers.
