Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood start tour

Monday, February 4, 2008 – Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood started their 2008 "Love, Pain and the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour" with three sold-out shows, two in Uncasville, Conn. and one in Rochester, N.Y. this past weekend.

During one of his Uncasville performances of "You Look Good In My Shirt," Urban leapt into the crowd for the song's guitar solo. Urban stripped his Epiphone electric guitar from his shoulder and give it to a 15-year old fan.

The performer's next stop is Madison Square Garden, on Feb. 13 where Urban will make his sold-out debut.

Underwood and Urban just added additional dates recently in Peoria, Ill. and Sacramento, Cal. Next for Urban, after "Love, Pain & the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour's" completion on April 26, Urban will play stadium dates with Kenny Chesney.
