Country Music Star Keith Urban Updated Concerts

rowena on Jan 23rd 2009

Keith Urban started singing at an early age. He grew up in Australia and began taking guitar lessons at the age of six. His natural musical talent and charisma soon led to his participation in children’s theatre, where he first began to sing. His father was delighted to have a musical talent in the family. Urban’s father was very interested in American culture and country music, and he passed that interest on to his son. Young Keith Urban grew up listening to Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton, and Don Williams. He was steeped in country music.

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, 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.
