Travis Denning just finished touring with Justin Moore, and he says he owes him so much for helping him realize his dream.

“Justin Moore – I also like to call him the ‘Arkansas Redneck’ – was there at the beginning. We share the same producer, and that’s how I met him. He cut two of my songs really early on, and he’s always had my back,” says Travis. “He’s an amazing human being, a great father, a great Christian, an incredible performer and one of the best examples of someone who knows exactly what his audience wants…I’m so thankful that he’s taken us out on the road and he’s had me on stage a few times. He’s always tried to help put me in a position to succeed, and I think he just does that because he’s a good guy. I mean I think he likes me a little bit, even though I’ll talk some football smack to him and he’s not a big fan of that, but I love Justin Moore. I owe him so much.”

To view a sneak peek, click HERE. Fans can check out the full videos tomorrow HERE.

As part of the commercial shoot, the GRAMMY-nominated duo returned to the Florida coastal town where they recorded their critically-acclaimed sophomore album aptly titled Port Saint Joe. Combining Brothers Osborne’s desire to give back to the community of Port Saint Joe and Ram Truck brand’s grassroots Ram Nation initiative, where Ram owners help in their communities, the commercial centers around the Port Saint Joe Theatre renovation project which included restoring the original neon marquee sign. The shoot culminated with a special public performance of “While You Still Can” which is also synced to the ad spot. The theatre has always served as a beacon of hope and progress for the local community.

Ram trucks have long held a special meaning with the reigning ACM and CMA Vocal Duo of the Year. The first time John and TJ visited Nashville, they made the 10-hour trek from their blue-collar hometown of Deale, Maryland in their Dad’s Ram Truck.

Keith Urban wrote his current hit “Coming Home” based on a guitar lick he loved from Merle Haggard‘s 1968 No. 1 hit, “Mama Tried.”

“I wanted to write something from that famous guitar lick in that song, and we took it from Haggard’s record, sort of manipulated it a little bit and put some new chords around it and wrote this music track,” says Keith. “What became the chorus was almost stream of conscious when I was listening to the track. I just wrote ‘There’s a place that I know where they all know me/I gotta get back now to the ones who love me/wrap myself around you/never let you go/there’s nothing in the world that feels like Coming Home.’ And it all just came out, and that’s what Merle’s guitar lick made me feel, so it was a very important part of the song.”

“Coming Home,” featuring Julia Michaels, is set to enter the Top 10 and is from Keith’s new album, Graffiti U. He co-wrote the song with Julia, as well as J.R. Rotem, Nicolle Galyon and the late Merle Haggard.

Keith will perform during this year’s CMA Music Fest on Saturday (June 9th) at Nissan Stadium. He’ll kick off his Graffiti U World Tour with special guest Kelsea Ballerini in St. Louis, Missouri June 15th.
