Mike Keith—Hall of Fame broadcaster, VFL, and one of the most recognizable voices in sports—returned home to Knoxville in 2025 as the new “Voice of the Vols.” After a legendary 26-season run with the Tennessee Titans, behind the mic as “The Voice of the Titans,” Keith now leads play-by-play for Tennessee football and men’s basketball while launching new fan-focused programming, including the Mike Keith Show. Best known for his iconic call of the “Music City Miracle”—named by ESPN as one of the greatest in sports radio history—Keith has earned national acclaim, a place among the Top 100 Local Voices in Sports Broadcasting, 12 Tennessee Sportscaster of the Year honors, and more than 20 Associated Press awards.

Join us on August 4^th to hear him talk about a homecoming that’s more than a career milestone—it’s a full-circle moment going back to when Keith was just 19 years old! After decades on the national stage, he’s back where it all began—bringing unmatched insight, stories, and perspective from his first year leading Vol Nation. His reflections offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look at a historic return, making this a must-hear conversation for any Tennessee fan or lover of great sports storytelling.

Sponsorships, tables and individual tickets are available in VERY limited quantities for this program. ALL Sponsorships include a pass-through donation to Mike's selected non-profit, Emerald Youth Foundation, who we are proud to support as a member!
