Keith Urban Concert in Knoxville

By Samson Elias

Keith Urban's arrival in Knoxville, Tennessee comes on the heels of a career in which the country music star has sold millions of records, achieved platinum status certification more than once and based on his own music and instrumental ability.

Urban's childhood was spent in Australia, not exactly a common background for a county music star, but his stay on the country music charts has been fantastic. He has spent time working with Garth Brooks and sharing the stage with the Dixie Chicks and re-imagined tunes such as Elton John's "Country Comfort" on his way to super stardom.

Today, Urban has had several platinum-selling releases and his legion of fans has grown exponentially as he's made the transition from country music artist to worldwide celebrity. Along with the exposure of his music and charismatic good looks, a high profile marriage to Nicole Kidman landed Urban on the front covers of national magazines. As he added appearances at the Grammy Award and the CMA, and he has now become a true superstar.

Urban has filled arenas around the world, including performances at the Live 8 Concert in 2005 and Al Gore's Live Earth concert in 2007. With a live show renowned for energetic and honest performance, he is equally at home in football stadiums and intimate clubs.

Keith's latest studio release, "Defying Gravity" in March, 2009, debuted at number one and beat out releases from Prince and Diana Krall. Urban then went on to perform "Kiss A Girl" on American Idol, which then became the second single released from the album.

Supported by well-known acts like Taylor Swift, Urban embarked on the two-leg 'Escape the World Tour' to support "Defying Gravity." Hitting all major cities in Canada and the USA, the tour showcases a catalog of Urban's greatest hits, as well as his newest material. After kicking off the tour with a smaller six-show series of club performances, Urban played the first official date in Uncasville, CT.

On August 28th, Urban will play at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN. Tickets are likely to go fast, as fans humming "Once In A Lifetime" descend on ticket offices. Urban's star is still ascending, as the recent Gold certification of 'Defying Gravity' in Australia proves. Make sure not to miss the Keith Urban Concert Knoxville, TN 200 - 18418
