Keith Urban
Keith Urban has spent the better part of his life harnessing a deep-seated passion for music. This, when combined with his authenticity, talent and driving musical inquisitiveness, helps to understand why he is one of the most successful and well-respected artists in the world. He’s won four GRAMMY© Awards, thirteen CMAs (including 2x Entertainer of the Year), fifteen ACMs (including the prestigious Triple Crown for winner Best New Artist, Male Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year), three AMAs, two People’s Choice Awards, celebrated nine consecutive gold (2), platinum or multi-platinum albums (11), which have produced more than 11 Billion streams.
Urban’s 13th studio album, Flow State (via MCA), is a call back to the smooth and breezy sounds of yacht rock. Produced by Keith Urban and Dann Huff, and recorded at Urban’s Nashville based studio “The Sound,” the project, released on June 12th, reinvigorates the feelings of nostalgia with Urban putting his signature spin on classics such as “Summer Breeze,” “Baby Come Back,” “Just the Two of Us,” and more. The album features one original track, “We Go Back,” featuring the musical icon, Michael McDonald. Flow State also welcomes collaborations from celebrated Country group, Little Big Town, on “Magnet and Steel” and the Grammy winning, John Mayer, on “Guitar Man.” Flow State, which debuted No. 7 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart (dated June 27), No. 12 on Top Country Albums (his 15th top 40 set there), and No. 57 on the all-genre Billboard 200, serves as an antidote to life’s stresses as it creates an atmosphere for community gathering, deep exhales and optimism. “Steal Away,” “We Go Back” ft. Michael McDonald, “Summer Breeze,” and “Magnet and Steel” ft. Little Big Town and “Guitar Man” ft. John Mayer tracks have already been released.
“Creating FLOW STATE was one of the most unexpected albums I’ve ever made. In a lot of ways, it felt like the whole album had an energy and life of its own and I was just following where it lead me. The songs we recorded were all so natural though, and I discovered a lot about how much they’ve helped shape my own music. There’s a reason these songs have stood the test of time, and equally so, the need for their spirit of fully disconnecting from ‘the grid’ and swimming in blue sky simplicity.”
His last album, HIGH, produced songs that feature huge hook choruses, optimism, celebratory fun and revelation, “Heart Like A Hometown,” “Straight Line,” “Go Home W U” with Lainey Wilson, and “Messed Up As Me” amongst them. It’s these songs and Urban’s incredible catalogue of hits including “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” and “Wasted Time,” off his ninth studio album, Ripcord, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2026, along with “Somebody Like You,” “Long Hot Summer” and “One Too Many,” his duet with P!nk, that fueled his acclaimed HIGH AND ALIVE WORLD TOUR which concluded in October ’25. But for those who have experienced an Urban concert, and especially for those who haven’t, is his first full-length, live concert album of his career HIGH AND A(LIVE).
He's been a judge on "American Idol" in the U.S., a coach on "The Voice" in Australia, an executive producer and featured player on CBS' "The Road" and is recognized as one of Country music’s most influential artists with inductions into the Grand Ole Opry and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Urban’s career has been sprinkled with creative collaborations that have shown his brevity and thirst for musical possibility. They are what make him the musician’s musician. They’ve included, amongst others: Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Jelly Roll, John Mayer, HARDY, Justin Timberlake, Dzeko, Miranda Lambert, Nile Rodgers, P!nk, Post Malone, The Rolling Stones and Vince Gill.
In the midst of it all Urban gives back. His “All For The Hall” benefit concerts have raised $4.3M for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum©. He was the first Artist Ambassador of the CMA Foundation, is an advisory board member at the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and is a longtime supporter of The Mr. Holland’s Opus Fund and The Grammy Foundation.
Urban consistently reminds music lovers around the globe why he is one of the world’s best live performers. His concerts have become legendary–as unpredictable as they are explosive. An experience of emotion, musical texture, energy and showmanship.
Following yesterday's mini concert aboard NYC Ferry, Keith Urban will kick off the "Good Morning America" Summer Concert Series at the "GMA" downtown studio this morning, Friday, July 10.
