Keith Urban, as many of us know, is married to the lovely Nicole Kidman. But do we really know him other than the fact he's linked to a gorgeous movie start?
Mr. Urban actually grew up in Australia where CMT.com wrote, he listened to country music because of his parents love of American culture. He receieved his first guitar at age 6 and in less than two years he was winning country music contests. Child prodigy if you ask me!
When he finally made the move to Nashville, Tennessee he threw bands together making a name for himself and eventually was asked to play on Garth Brooks "Double Live" and the Dixie Chicks "Fly."
I guess in the past country music stars had that clean cut down home kind've look. But Urban came with a grungy down under appearance which eventually was accepted with the release of his 2000 self-titled debut album.
He's seen such success with his follow up album in 2002 and he was given the CMA Male Vocalist Award followed by the Entertainer of the Year Award in 2005.
Although relatively new to the music scene Keith Urban has earned himself a large following and even though he went through a stint of addiction to alcohol, he came out on top with the release of "Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing."
I feel like standing up and giving this guy a big round of applause. It's not easy being in the public eye going through a tough time. Maybe we can show our appreciation by seeing him Saturday Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. He'll be in Sunrise at the Bank Atlantic Center with special guest Gary Allan. Tickets range from $17.25 to $56.75 and will most likely disappear quickly.
