Keith Urban Highlights Concert MBA at Annual 19
Keith Urban, 2018 Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year and four-time Grammy Award winner, highlights Concert MBA at Annual19, the Mortgage Bankers Association’s Annual Convention & Expo, Oct. 27-30 in Austin, Texas.
Urban released “We Were” in May, his first new single of 2019. It comes after the 2018 release of Graffiti U and his acclaimed “Graffiti U World Tour,” which played to more than a million fans in seven countries on three continents. It included sold-out shows in the United States, Canada and Australia, as well as Urban’s first European concerts in more than a decade.
Urban has had an album simultaneously atop the all-genre charts in the U.S., Canada and Australia twice and is the only male country artist to have achieved the mark even once. He now stands at #8 on Billboard’s All-Time Country Airplay Chart as the artist with the most consecutive top 10 songs on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart (38)–a streak that started in August 2000.
Besides four Grammy Awards, Urban has won 13 Country Music Association Awards, 11 Academy of Country Music Awards, four People’s Choice Awards and four American Music Awards. He is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
Additionally, Urban has long supported numerous charities. His “All For The Hall” benefit concerts for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum have raised more than $3.4 million. He is the first Ambassador of the CMA Foundation, an advisory board member at the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and is a longtime supporter of The Mr. Holland’s Opus Fund and The Grammy Foundation. In 2013, he introduced his new URBAN Guitar Collection via HSN, proceeds of which benefit both the Grammy Foundation and Mr. Holland’s Opus Fund.
