St. Jude Backstage At Westwood One’s Radio Row For The ACM Awards

St. Jude patients Londyn and Addi got an experience they won’t soon forget this weekend while in Las Vegas for the ACM Awards. Artists in town for the awards show including Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Lauren Alaina, Luke Bryan, and Reba McEntire stopped by to say hello and spend time with the St. Jude patients. Londyn taught ACM Entertainer of the year, Keith Urban and ACM Male vocalist of the year, Thomas Rhett how to play her favorite game of rock, paper, scissors. She also talked with the stars asking Jake Owen, “If you could have a superpower, what would it be?” Jake told Londyn that he’d want to make everyone feel really good and healthy all of the time. Londyn is 6 years old and fighting Neuroblastoma at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

ACM new Female Vocalist of the year, Ashley McBryde and 5 year old Addi sang a song together from the “The Little Mermaid” and Kix Brooks from Brooks & Dunn shared his cowboy hat with her during their visit.

The country music community has raised more than $800 million for St. Jude since the Country Cares for St. Jude kids program was founded 30 years ago.  Families at St. Jude never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Kelsea Ballerini Makes Powerful Return To Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena With Keith Urban

By on August 27, 2018 in In The Press

Photo credit: Joseph Llanes

Commanding the stage at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Friday (8/24), it was a full-circle moment for Black River Entertainment’s KELSEA BALLERINI as she opened for KEITH URBAN on his GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR stop. Urban’s “Stupid Boy” inspired Ballerini to begin songwriting over a decade ago.

“I moved to Nashville at 15 to do just this,” she shared with the packed house. “My first opportunity was as a songwriter, and I feel like I’ve learned the most by listening to and watching songwriters.” Ballerini also offered advice to all the songwriters in the room wondering if Nashville is the next step in their own journey, “It is. Do it,” she added. “It could change your entire world.”

During her dynamic set, the Country superstar performed tracks from her acclaimed sophomore album UNAPOLOGETICALLY, including the title track, “Roses,” “Miss Me More,” and chart-climbing current single “I Hate Love Songs.” In addition to her GOLD-certified, history-making #1 “Legends,” she also spanned her career-launching PLATINUM-certified, #1 smashes: “Love Me Like You Mean It,” “Dibs,” and “Peter Pan,” from her GOLD-certified breakout THE FIRST TIME. Ballerini remains the only female artist in Country music history, including female duos and groups, to claim #1 with her first three consecutive singles from a debut album.

As a “fan of a songwriter,” Ballerini also conducted an arena-sized sing-along with a heart-stirring cover of Fleetwood Mac’s iconic “Landslide.” In addition, she joined Urban later on in the show to duet on his hit “We Were Us.” Applauding her powerful “poise and sass,” The Tennessean claimed, “Ballerini proved she can work an arena crowd and only needs half of a song to make them fall in love.”

The GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR continues next week with back-to-back shows at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT, on Friday (9/7) and Saturday (9/8). Additional details on venues, cities, and dates running through November can be found here.

ABOUT KELSEA BALLERINI:
Applauded as GRAMMY nominee Kelsea Ballerini’s “grown-up statement” (Rolling Stone), the Black River Entertainment artist’s acclaimed sophomore album UNAPOLOGETICALLY takes listeners on an intimate journey of loss, life, and love. The 12-track compilation – all written or co-written by Ballerini – features the GOLD-certified, #1 hit “Legends” and current chart-rising single “I Hate Love Songs.” This summer, she’s Keith Urban’s featured artist on the GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR, after wrapping her own sold-out headlining THE UNAPOLOGETICALLY TOUR. The record-breaker skyrocketed to stardom after releasing PLATINUM-certified, #1 smashes – “Love Me Like You Mean It,” “Dibs,” “Peter Pan” – from her GOLD-certified breakout THE FIRST TIME. Ballerini is the only female artist in Country music history, including female duos and groups, to go #1 with her first three consecutive singles from a debut album. As spotted on “Best Dressed” lists, the style maven appeared in a multi-page fashion spread in Cosmopolitan’s March 2018 issue, with several other high profile looks in 2017: Billboard Magazine’s GRAMMY preview issue; Forbes’ “30 Under 30” class; and People Magazine’s “Beauty at Every Age” list in their iconic World’s Most Beautiful issue. Praised by The New York Times as an “elegant songwriter,” Ballerini has received the esteemed ASCAP Vanguard Award, CMT Next Women of Country’s Impact Award, Nashville Business Journal’s Artist of the Year, ACM Honor’s Gene Weed Milestone Award, iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Country Artist, Billboard Women in Music’s Rising Star, multiple Radio Disney Music Awards plus several breakthrough female awards from ACM and CMT.

Keith Urban Debuts Official Music Video For Latest Single “Never Comin Down”

By on August 24, 2018 in In The Press

Four-time GRAMMY ® Award winner Keith Urban debuts the brand-new music video for his latest single GRAFFITI U’s “Never Comin Down,” which follows his 24th #1 song “Coming Home.”  “Never Comin Down,” (Urban, Josh Kerr, James Abrahart, Shy Carter) says Urban, “captures the energy and spirit of being at a show – lost in the music, along with everyone else that’s there, whether you know them or not.  That’s the feeling that I wanted to capture in the video.”

The result produced a wildly creative narrative that intentionally accentuates inclusivity through dance.  Urban’s collaborator, director Carter Smith says, “In casting, we took the people that were happiest to be themselves – whatever that was.  We brought in voguers, break dancers, hip-hop dancers – line dancers – everybody’s dancing together for this one song, on this one night.”

 

The video opens with a nervous young man approaching a bar. As he makes his way inside, he’s slowly consumed by the feeling in the room, everyone dancing, expressing themselves in their own way, lost in the music.  By the end of the video, he’s not only out on the dance floor, but showing them all how to line dance.

 

Urban is currently in the midst of his 62-city “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018” – with his guitar – and is scheduled to perform in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena this Friday.

Keith Urban And Busbee Penned Song, “The Fighter”, Featuring Carrie Underwood Officially Honored 

By on August 6, 2018 in Music, Special Events, The Latest

Picture the scenario: Country music superstar Keith Urban is visiting his movie star wife Nicole Kidman in London as she is on location working.  He becomes so moved to write a song inspired by her, he calls fellow songwriter and producer Busbee to collaborate.  Busbee immediately jumps on a flight to London and  “The Fighter” is born.

After writing the song that ultimately became a duet, choosing the female artist who could carry the powerhouse vocal melody became the focus.  It was undeniable that Carrie Underwood would be called.  She heard the demo, with busbee singing the female part, and fell in love with the idea.

“Carrie’s delivery was so heartfelt.  Those are some hard lyrics for a female to sing”, says Urban.

“What if I fall (I won’t let you fall)

What if I cry (I’ll never make you cry)

And if I get scared (I’ll hold you tighter)

When they’re tryna get to you baby I’ll be the fighter

What if I fall (I won’t let you fall)

What if I cry I promise I’ll never make you cry

And if I get scared (I’ll hold you tighter)

When they’re trying to get to you, baby, I’ll be the fighter”

As the fifth and final single from Urban’s Capitol Nashville released RIPCORD album, “The Fighter” also won as the 2017 CMT Collaborative Video of the Year and the 2018 ACM Vocal Event of the Year.  It remained on the Adult Top 40 Billboard charts for 40 weeks.

As scheduling was a challenge, uniting Underwood, Urban and busbee to celebrate the success of “The Fighter” finally happened, ironically, on the same day as Urbans newest single, “Coming Home”, also reached #1 from his latest 2018 project, PARALLEL LINE.  Whether it be strategic marketing or pure coincidence on Urban’s side, the one thing we can all agree on is that he continues to create music that is commercially-viable and exhibits mass appeal.  Keith Urban is forging a path in country music that has no boundaries

Keith Urban (And Fans) Announce “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018” During Live Streamed Pop-Up Performance

By on January 18, 2018 in In The Press

At an unannounced pop-up show last night at Nashville’s Exit/In, GRAMMY Award winner Keith Urban enlisted his fans to officially announce his “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018,” and also took the opportunity to reveal that his forthcoming album will be called GRAFFITI U.  During a 2-hour surprise show, in front of a crowd of 350 lucky fans that poured out onto the streets, Urban also took time to introduce and perform with GRAMMY nominee Kelsea Ballerini, who will accompany Urban on the North American leg, as his supporting act.

 

It was Urban’s fans who took center stage for the tour announcement – a live streamed event that saw them during the feed, in cities across the country announcing the “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018” on white poster boards –  http://smarturl.it/KU-FanVideo.

 

“I’ve been full-on writing, recording, collaborating and creating with some incredibly talented people for GRAFFITI U, a lot of whom I’ve never worked with before,” said Urban.  “I can hear how some of the songs will translate live already, which really makes putting on a new show so exhilarating and I loved having our fans included in the announcement of the tour because it’s their tour too.”

 

The 58-city tour will kick off on June 15th at St. Louis’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre and will include 10 shows in Canada (supporting act TBA) as well as visits to cities in Nevada, Oregon, Alabama and Arkansas that Urban has yet to headline.  Urban’s shows have become concert events that electrify.  They’re unexpected, if not unpredictable, and have been hailed by media around the world as a “concert experience not to be missed.” The tour will feature many of Urban’s 23 #1 songs, as well as brand new songs that have never been performed live and an all-new concert production that promises to be as spectacular as never before.

 

“I remember hearing Keith Urban songs that stopped me in my tracks and made me want to drop everything and chase that kind of lyric and heart filled artistry,” says Ballerini. “He’s the best in the business and I can’t wait to fangirl and learn from him this year. Truly an honor to tour with him.”

 

Ballerini continues her record-breaking momentum with acclaimed sophomore album UNAPOLOGETICALLY (Black River Entertainment) featuring Top 10 single “Legends.” Regarded as her “grown-up statement” (Rolling Stone), the album follows her history-making GOLD debut THE FIRST TIME that delivered three consecutive #1, PLATINUM-certified smashes – “Love Me Like You Mean It,” “Peter Pan,” “Dibs” – making her the only female artist in Country music to achieve this accolade. Praised by The New York Times as an “elegant songwriter,” Ballerini was most recently honored with the ASCAP Vanguard Award and ACM Gene Weed Milestone Award.
