Urban raises another tour
Jerrod Niemann and special guest Brett Eldredge will open the shows, which will feature an all-new stage production and music not performed on the "Light The Fuse" Tour.
"The Raise Em Up Tour will be a complete build from the sky down," said Urban. "New staging, new production, a lot more songs from 'Fuse' that the fans have been requesting, a different mix of previous hits and some rarities from past albums that we haven't played in a while if ever. And we'll be sharing the stage with Brett and Jerrod, both with killer new albums."
Niemann will release "High Noon" on March 25, the follow-up to 2012's "Free the Music." Niemann has a hit on his hands with "Drink To That All Night."
Eldredge released his debut CD, "Bring You Back," in August 2013. The album features his numberone single "Don't Ya" and his current Top 20 single "Beat of the Music."

CD reviews for Keith Urban
Following hits "Straight Line," "Wildside" and "Go Home W U" featuring Lainey Wilson, Keith Urban drops thematically driven and pleasantly electrifying album "High," a nearly four-year drop since 2020's "The Speed of Now Part 1."
Urban took great interest in feelings and experiences associated with the word "high," reflecting on his own passions approaching the sensation or "place of utopia" as Urban dubs it . ...
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. ...
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 ...
