About Keith Urban
Born in New Zealand, Keith Urban learned to play guitar as a
six-year-old in Australia, after a young woman asked to place an ad in
his dad's shop window offering guitar lessons. His parents made a deal
with her that they would advertise in return for lessons for their
young son. The boy had natural ability. By the time he was eight,
Keith Urban was winning talent shows. He also was involved in a youth
acting company which required him to sing, dance, and memorize lines,
all of which led to the ease on stage which would serve him well in
his music career.
With his father deeply interested in American culture and country
music, it was also natural that Keith Urban would gravitate towards
country music early on, when he was influenced by the singing of Glen
Campbell, Dolly Parton, and Don Williams, and the songwriting of Jimmy
Webb ("Galveston"). Keith Urban added his own dimension to those
influences when he discovered Dire Straits, and became interested in
the guitar playing of Mark Knopfler and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey
Buckingham, embarking on in-depth study and endless practice of their
techniques.

At the start of the '90s, Australian country music was primed for a
revolution. Keith Urban -- young, brash, blonde, rock-ish -- was part
of that revolution. His first album saw him win several major awards.
Throughout his rise, Keith Urban always had his eye on Nashville,
Tennessee, USA. That's where the music in his heart was born and still
lived. Almost from the beginning he made periodical pilgrimages to
Nashville, forging valuable career bridges.
In 1997, Keith Urban decided to base himself in Nashville. With his
Australian band mate, drummer Peter Clarke, he formed the three-piece
band the Ranch. Their original bass player soon returned to Australia,
but West Virginian Jerry Flowers quickly fit in.
Their live shows, featuring Keith Urban's standout lead guitar playing
led to a record deal with Capitol Nashville and a management contract
with I.R.S. Records founder/Police manager Miles Copeland. The group's
debut album, The Ranch, was released to critical acclaim in 1997.
Critics raved about the album's unique take on country music and
Urban's guitar playing. Other artists also took notice, and when the
Ranch disbanded, other artists called on Keith Urban to add some of
his fleet-fingered magic to their records. Garth Brooks asked Urban to
play on Double Live. The Dixie Chicks invited him to play on their
second album. Matt Rollings, one of Nashville's top musicians, hired
Urban as a session player on an album he was producing and the two
immediately clicked.
Impressed by Rollings' knowledge of Nashville's session players, Keith
Urban asked him to produce his next record, another solo album. His
tour in support of that album included opening for such major acts as
Dwight Yoakam, Faith Hill, and Tim McGraw, as well as headlining his
own shows. Ten years on he was doing to Nashville what he'd done to
Tamworth. The result was American country hits for "It's a Love Thing"
and "Your Everything," and a Grammy award nomination for Best Country
Instrumental Performance for "Rollercoaster."
