Urban, Gill, Bentley, Ballerini play All for the Hall

Thursday, September 7, 2023 – Keith Urban and Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill will return to Nashville's Bridgestone Arena for Urban's All for the Hall concert on Dec. 5.

The concert benefits the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and will include performances by musical directors Urban and Gill, as well as Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Jordan Davis, Patty Griffin, Mickey Guyton, HARDY, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood and other special guests.

This year's show, themed "The Song Remembers When," will feature artists performing a song that defines a memorable moment in their life, in addition to one of their own hits. This is Urban's eighth All for the Hall Nashville concert. Collectively, they have raised $4.3 million in support of the nonprofit museum and its educational programs.

"Getting to curate, create and collaborate on our All for the Hall shows has always been mad fun for me," said Urban. "There's so much love and respect for all the work the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum does, not only from the artists and the industry, but the audience too. I love that Vince will be there with me again this year, and we have another incredible 'guest list' and always some surprises too. Let's roll."

Tickets will go on sale Friday at 11 a.m. eastern and can be purchased at LiveNation.com.

The evening will also feature a performance of an original song by Nashville area high school students who participated in the museum's education program, Words & Music. The program pairs a professional songwriter with students to help them to learn how to write song lyrics while developing key skills in language arts.

CD review - THE SPEED OF NOW Part 1 It's getting tougher and tougher all the time to justify categorizing Keith Urban's music as country. "The Speed of Now, Pt. 1" doesn't help.

It's a relatively good pop album, for a Nashville pop effort, but there's just too much real country (Jon Pardi, Luke Combs) getting played on mainstream radio these days. The world just doesn't really need new Urban pop music. ...
CD review - Graffiti U It's telling how two songs on Keith Urban's "Graffiti U" album chug along to a reggae beat because pop rhythms and non-country elements are the obvious inspirations for this collection. Opener "Coming Home" may borrow (steal?) a guitar riff from Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried," but this is where that country road begins and ends. Urban follows "Coming Home" with "Never Comin' Down," which is introduced with a funky bass line ...
CD review - Ripcord Even though Keith Urban's single, "Wasted Time," borrows more than a little sonic sensibility from electronic music, there's still an upfront banjo solo. And this is how it's always been with Urban. He may play the part of the guitar hero at times, and even revealed his eclectic musical knowledge as a judge on American Idol, but Urban will always be a country boy at heart. And boyish good looks and talent have taken this country boy far, too. The wonderfully titled ...
