Keith Urban performed at the Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Friday night and gave a masterclass in entertaining for two hours. He ran through songs spanning his career with a little help, too. His band included bassist Jerry Flowers, who was in his band The Ranch for starters. Urban also brought out local Nashville singer Kayley Green, a regular at the bar The Stage for Martina McBride’s “Independence Day” and his duet with Miranda Lambert “We Were Us.” Then he paid a moving tribute to Loretta Lynn by singing “Blue Kentucky Girl” and “If You’re Looking At Country” as photos of her flashed on the big screen. At the end of the songs Keith said “We love you Loretta” But that’s not all! Urban also brought out Luke Combs for a pair of songs including “When It Rains It Pours” as well as the Eric Church collab “Raise ‘Em Up.” His next stops include Savannah, Georgia, Knoxville, Tennessee, and Charleston, West Virginia this week.
Kelsea Ballerini got a big surprise during her recent concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Kenny Chesney hopped onstage to sing their duet, "Half of My Hometown," from her 2020 album “Kelsea.” The 29-year-old country singer told the crowd she was experiencing tracking issues and killing time until her tour crew could fix the problem. That’s when Chesney snuck up behind her. The 54-year-old singer told “People” "Singing 'Half of My Hometown' with Kelsea is always magic, because she grew up where I did... and she knows all those places, too. So proud of her, especially at the Greek last night." Kelsea took to Instagram to gush "half of my hometown showed up in los angeles last night. @kennychesney WHAT A SURPRISE IM STILL LOSING IT?!?" He replied "Very happy your team kept it a secret. Haha. Love you and very proud of you.”
