Most recently appearing in Cleveland at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions, country great Keith Urban will return to Northeast Ohio to perform at Blossom Music Center on July 15. (Assuming his plane doesn’t get held up by weather AGAIN!)
The Australian artist made his solo American debut in 1999 with a second eponymous album. Certified platinum in the US by the RIAA, it produced his first number one on the Hot Country Songs chart with “But for the Grace of God.”
“Somebody Like You”, the first single from his second Capitol album ‘Golden Road’ (2002), was named by Billboard as the biggest country hit of the 2000s decade. The album’s fourth single, “You’ll Think of Me” featuring his nephew and country artist Rory Gilliatte, earned him his first Grammy Award.
2004’s ‘Be Here,’ his third American album became his highest-selling album, being certified 4× Platinum. ‘Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing’ was released in 2006, containing “Once in a Lifetime” as well as his second Grammy Award-winning song, “Stupid Boy”.
In September 2013, he released the album ‘Fuse,’ which produced four more number ones on the Country Airplay chart. “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16” was released in June 2015 as the lead single of his eighth American studio album, ‘Ripcord.’ The album later produced the Country Airplay chart number-one hits “Break on Me”, “Wasted Time”, and “Blue Ain’t Your Color”, with the latter also becoming Urban’s longest-reigning number one on the Hot Country Songs chart, spending 12 weeks atop the chart.
His tenth album, ‘Graffiti U,’ was released in 2018 and includes the Top 10 hit “Coming Home.” His eleventh album ‘The Speed of Now Part 1’ was released in 2020 and includes the global hit “One Too Many” with Pink, in addition to Country Airplay top ten hits “We Were” and “God Whispered Your Name”.
Urban has released a total of eleven studio albums (one of which was released only in Australia), as well as one album with The Ranch. He has charted 37 singles on the US Hot Country Songs chart, 18 of which went to number one, counting a duet with Brad Paisley (“Start a Band“) and the 2008 single “You Look Good in My Shirt”, which he previously recorded on Golden Road. Those also include his third Grammy Award-winning single “Sweet Thing” from his album ‘Defying Gravity.’
Urban is also known for his role as a coach on the Australian version of the singing competition The Voice 2021 and as a judge on American Idol. In October 2013, Urban introduced his own signature line of guitars and accessories.
