KEITH URBAN MATES.NET LIBRARY |
Keith Urban’s Nashville When Ernie met up with Aussie country music star Keith Urban in Nashville, Tennessee - the country music capital of the world - he got a personalised tour of the town. Although Keith grew up in Caboolture, in country Queensland, he moved to Nashville eight years ago to make it big - and the Grammy-nominated, Aria-winning singer has already had a number one hit on the US chart. |
Keith leads the way to the Country Music Hall of Fame. The CMHF is a non-profit organisation
that honours the cultural significance of country music and the achievements
country performers. It's four storeys full of memorabilia and history
from the world's favourite country stars. |
The next item on the itinerary is a tour of the Grand Ole Opry, the world's longest
running live radio program. A one-hour tour allows you to go behind the scenes
of the world famous Opry, stand where the Opry greats have performed and see
the backstage dressing rooms used by the stars. In fact, there are so many stars
visiting the Grand Ole Opry, you never know who you might bump into along the
way. |
If you're looking for a taste of Nashville nightlife, Keith recommends 12th & Porter,
a popular outfit where local musicians perform Monday to Saturday in the hope
of being discovered. |
Ernie tries to convince Keith, that if he got up and sung he might get discovered
there also!.... Keith is not at all convinced of this |
