Keith Urban Pulls the Ripcord and Drops New Album on Music City with Free Concert in Nashville
Thousands of Music City fans packed the plaza of the Bridgestone Arena and the closed off section of Broadway to watch the singer/songwriter/guitarist pull the string on his latest album called Ripcord. Shortly after noon on Monday Urban emerged with his backing band and proceeded to deliver a strong hour-long set to kick off a series of high-profile public appearances established to promote the arrival of his new record.From Mid-Tennessee Keith heads back east for a release party in New York City followed immediately by an intimate interview and performance at the 200-seat Grammy Museum’s Clive Davis Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday. “I wish you all could see the view from up here. It’s amazing,” Urban said surveying the lunch-time crowd estimated to be over 7000 and comprised of die-hard fans, tourists and curiosity seekers. Anyone wanting to learn more about the artist and television personality needed to walk no further than a block up to the Country Music Hall of Fame that is currently running an exhibit on his career aptly titled “So Far”. Joining the casually dressed Urban and his well-honed quartet were many city dignitaries, industry V.I.P.s., circling news choppers and an assortment of Nashville’s finest food trucks parked across the plaza ready to nourish the masses. Urban, who will return to headline Bridgestone Arena November 11th, announced the free show last week. His concert in Nashville was a celebration of the old and the new with a set list comprised of “Gone Tomorrow (Here Today)”, “Long Hot Summer”, “Raise ‘Em Up”, “Sweet Thing”, “Break on Me”, “Blue Ain’t Your Color”, “Somewhere in My Car”, “Gettin’ in the Way”, “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16” and “Wasted Time”.
