CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it Keith Urban is a super- star, but to the Country Music Association, he's now more than that. The singer-songwriter and "American Idol" judge was among the many artists featured at June's CMA Music Festival in Nashville — which again yields ABC's annual spe- cial subtitled "Country's Night to Rock" Tuesday, Aug. 4 — and the occa- sion meant even more for Urban than its usual chance to commune with fans and other country stars. During the four-day event, he was named the first national ambassador for the CMA's "Music Education Matters" cam- paign, which supplies instruments and teaching support for inner-city youth. "Music education, par- ticularly getting it into a lot of the schools where they're doing away with it, is something that's very important to me," the ever-friendly Urban says, "purely because it was such a big part of my life growing up. I just went to a basic public school in Queensland, Austra- lia, but even there in our small town of Caboolture, there was a music room with a piano and a cou- ple of guitars and a little drum kit and a couple of great teachers. "I just took that all for granted," Urban admits, "so the idea that that side of the curriculum can be pushed aside in favor of other skill sets is concerning to me and every other kid who's got a musical aptitude. This is such a perfect fit for me, I'm grateful that they asked me and honored that I get to do it." As part of his effort, Urban is donating 60 guitars (along with ampli- fiers, strings and picks) to school programs in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta and — not surprisingly — Nashville. Little Big Town hosts the CMA Music Festi- val telecast for the third consecutive time. Other performers featured in the show include Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Lady Ante- bellum, Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, Florida Georgia Line, Lee Brice, Cole Swindell, Brett El- dredge and Eric Church. The latter joins Urban on their duet "Raise 'Em Up," from Urban's gold-certi- fied album "Fuse." Additionally, Urban introduces "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16," the first single from his next release. "I don't have a lot of the rest of the record ready yet, but maybe I work good under Keith Urban performs on "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock" Tuesday on ABC. pressure," he muses. "It was the right song, and also, I went in and cut it with (veteran music producer) Dann Huff and we were just so happy with the way it sounded, everybody was ready to get some new music out there sooner than later. And I was all for that." With a number of U.S. concert dates in the coming weeks, Urban is immersed already in the final season of Fox's "American Idol" as he again treks with host Ryan Seacrest and fellow Keith Urban: Performer, and more, for the CMA judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. to various cities for the auditions. Adding even more to what Urban calls his "interesting travel season": trips to and from London, where wife Ni- cole Kidman is readying for a two-month run in the play "Photograph 51." Still, Urban isn't com- plaining. "I just always think of it in terms of mu- sicians being born travel- ers," he reasons. "That's what we do. That's what we know."
