Toby Keith will be making an appearance at the upcoming People’s Choice Country Awards this fall as he will be awarded the very first “Country Icon” award. Fellow Oklahoman Blake Shelton will be handing the trophy off to the “Big Dog Daddy.”

The awards show, an offshoot of the annual People’s Choice Awards, will be hosted by Little Big Town and will air and stream at 8 p.m. ET/PT across NBC and Peacock, live from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

• In other Toby news, the singer continues to not-so-gradually make his way into playing shape by once again taking the stage, this time joining LoCash at the Tin Roof in Orlando for a rousing rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” . On their socials, LoCash said, “[Toby Keith] was in the house the other night. We loved gettin’ to play some songs up there with him and tear it up.” And fans loved to see it.
