Mayer/Urban play together in Washington

Thursday, April 29, 2010 – Keith Urban and John Mayer announced Thursday their summer tour plans will intersect on Aug. 28 for a special live performance together at The Gorge in Spokane, Wash.

A pre-sale window via CMT.com will run from May 3 through May 7. Tickets go on sale to the public May 8. Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets before the general public exclusively offered by each artist by visiting the web sites of Mayer and Urban. Both artist presales begin on Saturday, May 1 at 1 p.m. eastern.

Last January, Mayer and Urban met for the first time in Nashville for the taping of a CMT Crossroads special. They played on Urban's hits If Ever Could I Love,'Til Summer Comes Aroundand the up-tempo Sweet Thing. The duo traded off when Urban backed Mayer on his Perfectly Lonelyand Gravity.

"CMT Crossroads was the first time I performed with Keith, but the creative rapport was there right away," said Mayer. "I'm looking forward to performing together again, and I hope it's one of many opportunities to work together in the future."

"I had the best time playing with John on CMT Crossroads. There's a certain simpatico between us as guitar players that, I think, comes from sharing the same desire to express the unwritten. Playing together at the Gorge will be like adding a musical score to the most magnificent setting in a film."

Both musicians are renowned as song writers, guitar players and vocalists - their seamless collaborations can be seen when their CMT Crossroads special airs on Friday, June 18 at 10 p.m. eastern/Pacific on CMT.

CD review - THE SPEED OF NOW Part 1 It's getting tougher and tougher all the time to justify categorizing Keith Urban's music as country. "The Speed of Now, Pt. 1" doesn't help. (What, is there a pt. 2 of this largely lame music on the way? Say it ain't so!) It's a relatively good pop album, for a Nashville pop effort, but there's just too much real country (Jon Pardi, Luke Combs) getting played on mainstream radio these days. The world just doesn't really need new Urban pop music. ...
CD review - Graffiti U It's telling how two songs on Keith Urban's "Graffiti U" album chug along to a reggae beat because pop rhythms and non-country elements are the obvious inspirations for this collection. Opener "Coming Home" may borrow (steal?) a guitar riff from Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried," but this is where that country road begins and ends. Urban follows "Coming Home" with "Never Comin' Down," which is introduced with a funky bass line ...
