2007, the brand's annual "owner only" three-day mix of off-road
driving and other family-friendly outdoor activities, will be held
July 26-28. "We always try to bring in phenomenal entertainment for
our owners attending Camp Jeep," said John Plecha, Director -- Jeep
Brand Marketing and Global Communications. "Tim is one of the
hottest stars in country music today with an even hotter new single
and album. And the fact that he is a Jeep owner himself makes his
involvement in Camp Jeep that much more special for everyone." The
Jeep partnership brings the couple's relationship with the brand
full circle. In 1996, as McGraw and Hill tell the story, they
borrowed a 1978 Jeep CJ to go for a ride while playing a concert in
State College, Pa. It was on that drive that the couple decided to
build a life together. Several years later, Hill tracked down that
red Jeep and gave it to McGraw as a birthday present. The couple
now affectionately refers to it as their "Date Jeep." During
McGraw's Camp Jeep performance, the Grammy-award winning country
artist will play some of his number one hits, including "Live like
You Were Dying," and "Real Good Man," and his recently released
single "Last Dollar" from his new album "Let It Go." McGraw and
Hill's "Jeep presents Soul2Soul Tour 2007" will kick off on June 5
in Omaha, Neb., and will include 40 performances, including
first-ever performances throughout Canada, over a nine week period.
