Keith Urban!

Detta — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 22:15:22 GMT

One of my firiends texted me the other night and asked if I would want to or be free to go with her to see Keith Urban in concert in Hershey, PA. I have to admit I'm not really into country music and didn't think I knew a whole lot of Keith's songs. I decided since I had a few days off work though, that I would go. It was an awesome show! I was so glad that I went! AND I knew alot more of his songs than I thought that I did! He is a great performer. He had 2 performers on ahead of him, Marin Morris and Brett Eldredge who I texted my 23 year old niece to find out if she knew who they were and of course she did! They were also great performers. I have to say I really admired Keith because he came across as very down to earth and friendly with the audiience. We had seats on the side of the stage but the performers came over to both sides often so you could see quite well plus a big screen was right by where we were sitting. He also had a small stage in the back of the arena and went back there and performed several songs. That also impressed me. Then when the show was over he stayed out on the stage for about 10-15 minutes and signed autographs and took pictures with the people who were in the standing area in front of the stage. All in all had a fantastic time and Keith gained a new fan!

KU puts on a fabulous concert. In my top 3 or 4 of favorite concerts ever. And he just seems to be a really great guy. I'm a fan.

I only know him from American Idol but he did seem like a nice guy.

I've never seen him in concert, but for some reason I'm always surprised what a great performer he is when I see him on TV. I guess that's because he's married to an actress and they both look like they have had plastic surgery to stay young looking.

I like some country. Keith Urban knows how to play a guitar and I enjoy seeing him perform on TV. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

I had the same experience, was never into country music and went to see Keith Urban and thought it was a great concert. So I went to see him again a few years later. Then I went to see Lady Antebellum and loved them too.

So now I find myself listening to more country music. Some of it isn't my taste but some is. I also like Little Big Town, they opened for Keith at one of the concerts I went to.

Urban concert.......one of our favorite concerts also. The guy can shred on the guitar ...one of the best (:

Like you, @Detta, I am not a big country music fan. KU is THE exception. My DH took me to see him about a year and a half ago and it was one of the best concerts I've been to, and I've been to many over the years. He strikes me as kind and authentic. I thought he and Nicole were genuinely in love and committed, until I read some news today that was disappointing. I hope they make it.

They made a video earlier this year that was really cute. Check it out.
