Keith Urban attended the grand opening of his new Keith Urban So Far… exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame Tuesday night (December 1st). The display featured CMA, ACM, CMT and Grammy Awards, alongside several guitars, including a handful of instruments that were damaged in the 2010 Nashville flood, as well as some costumes from his very, very early years.
“My dad particularly always thought it was important that I dress like a performer, and so a lot of those outfits way down on the end were actually made by him. With the help of my mom a little bit, but particularly my dad,” says Keith. “A lot of these talent quests I went on, these country music talent quests…they often had categories – best dressed male, best dressed female. And I often won best dressed male. [laughs] Sometimes it was the only thing I won.”
Many industry folks, as well as Keith’s friends and family, including his wife Nicole Kidman, as well as Steven Tyler and Jaren Johnston (Cadillac Three) were in attendance. The exhibit is scheduled to run through May 2016.
Keith has been in the studio working on his new album, which includes his current single, “Break On Me.”
