This Week’s Backstage Country Host: Keith Urban
From September 23-27, Backstage Country’s host is none other than the legendary Keith Urban! We’re about to dive into a week of country music, charm, and the smoothest accent this side of the globe.
Keith Urban: The Guy Who Makes Country Music Look Good
Keith Urban isn’t just another pretty face with perfect hair and a guitar (not that we’re complaining). He’s a music legend who’s taken country music by storm and left a trail of swooning fans in his wake ever since he released his self-titled album in 1991.
Fresh from releasing his 12th album High last September 20, Keith is still on a high (see, what we did there?) from all the support and love the album received, even if he did make his fans wait for new music for four years. It was an album worth the wait.
High: Keith Urban’s Latest Album
Keith’s latest album is all about those euphoric moments in life and what makes us feel “high” or be in a state of bliss. From the first strum to the last note, High is packed with tracks that’ll have you remembering all those moments that made life worth living.
For a week, listeners can listen to Keith talk about not only the songs in this album, but also his memorable tour moments when he was starting and opening for other well-known artists, bringing High on the road in 2025, and his limited engagement Las Vegas residency at the BleauLive Theater.
Behind the Music
During his hosting gig for this week, Keith will not just be playing country music from his album and other artists, he will also share with the listeners what went down during the making of High. Have you ever wondered what goes through Keith’s mind when he’s writing a new song? Or how he turns melodies and lyrics into hits? He’ll also be sharing insights into the songs’ deeper meanings and the challenges he faced while making the album.
The Urban Experience
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to ride shotgun with Keith Urban on a road trip, this is your chance. He’s got the playlist and the stories, so buckle up! During the week of September 23-27, Keith Urban will take you High. And trust us, you wouldn’t want to come down after.
