Keith Urban – Nearly a decade and a half after he first came to America from Australia, Keith Urban has arrived as a global musical force. This accomplished singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has slowly but surely established himself as one of the most consistent and exciting talents not simply in country music, but in our music world as a whole.

There’s been a series of increasingly acclaimed solo albums from 1999’s Keith Urban to 2002’s Golden Road to 2004’s Be Here, which topped Billboard’s Top Country Album charts and gave Urban his first Grammy Award for Best Male Country Performance as well as the prestigious Entertainer of the Year Award from the Country Music Association.

Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing, released in 2007, is a multi-textured work which Urban co-produced with longtime collaborator Dann Huff before embarking on a world tour in support of the record. Now a certified superstar of country music, Urban is returning home to Australia from his base in Nashville to perform at Bluesfest.
