Keith Urban (Harmony Award) OC: …awareness. :24
“Yeah, it’s a huge honor! When they told me not only that I was receiving it, but the past recipients, too, I thought I was in a really unique, exclusive wonderful club. I just love the fact that the award in itself creates awareness for the music community in Nashville—much like when we do ‘All For The Hall’—it’s a fun event, and we raise a lot of money, but we also raise a lot of awareness.”
