Toby Keith's performance of "Cryin' For Me (Waymon's Song) will feature sax player Dave Koz. It's a special performance to raise money to support Stand Up To Cancer, a non-profit organization focused on accelerating collaborative, cutting-edge cancer research to deliver better treatments to patients.
Toby is asking us to join Team Toby Keith for Wayman to raise funds for cancer research in Waymon's name.
You can download the performance after the show with 100% going to SU2C which goes directly to cancer research. You can pre-order right now on iTunes - you don't have to wait until after the show.
