Keith Urban has spent the better part of his life harnessing a deep-seated passion for music. This, when combined with his authenticity, talent and driving musical inquisitiveness, helps to understand why he is one of the most successful and well-respected artists in the world. He’s won four GRAMMY© Awards, thirteen CMAs (including 2x Entertainer of the Year), fifteen ACMs (including the prestigious Triple Crown for winner Best New Artist, Male Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year), three AMAs, two People’s Choice Awards, celebrated nine consecutive gold (2), platinum or multi-platinum albums (11), which have produced more than 11 BILLION streams.
Urban describes his latest release HIGH as a “musical journey, through themes of life and human connection”. Songs like “Messed Up As Me,” “Go Home W U” with Lainey Wilson, “Break the Chain,” “Wildside” and the album’s current single “Straight Line” feature huge hook choruses, shredding (guitar) solos, optimism, celebratory fun and personal revelation.
Those songs, as well as Urban’s incredible catalog of hits including “Blue Ain’t Your Color”, “Wasted Time”, “Somebody Like You,” “Long Hot Summer” and “One Too Many,” his duet with P!nk, are what fuel the HIGH AND ALIVE WORLD TOUR—Urban’s first tour in three years.
In October Urban will be the featured headliner on the new CBS music series, “The Road,” executive produced by Blake Shelton, Taylor Sheridan, Lee Metzger, David Glasser and Urban. The show highlights his, and Shelton’s journey in search of the next big musician, with emerging talent opening for Urban at music venues across America.
Urban’s career has been sprinkled with creative collaborations that have shown his brevity and thirst for musical possibility. They are what make him the musician’s musician. They’ve included, amongst others: Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Jelly Roll, John Mayer, HARDY, Justin Timberlake, Dzeko, Miranda Lambert, Nile Rodgers, P!nk, Post Malone, The Rolling Stones and Vince Gill.
He’s been a judge on American Idol in the U.S. and a coach on The Voice in Australia and been recognized as one of Country music’s most influential artists with inductions into the Grand Ole Opry and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In the midst of it all Urban gives back. His “All For The Hall” benefit concerts have raised $4.3M for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum©. He was the first Artist Ambassador of the CMA Foundation, is an advisory board member at the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and is a longtime supporter of The Mr. Holland’s Opus Fund and The Grammy Foundation.
Urban consistently reminds music lovers around the globe why he is one of the world’s best live performers. His concerts have become legendary—as unpredictable as they are explosive. An experience of emotion, musical texture, energy and showmanship.
