Keith Urban November 2, 2007

A native of Australia, Keith Urban played country festivals from the age of 10, yet he says his guitar playing was influenced by Mark Knopfler and Lindsay Buckingham -- both rock musicians. Keith's first major country hit was 'It's a Love Thing' in 2000. He's now embarking on a new tour to support his latest album, 'Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing.' Country singer/songwriter Gary Allan is a Californian who uses the laid-back manner of the Golden State to bring a cool, retro sound to his country music stylings.
