Keith Urban honoured at Country Music Awards of Australia Keith Urban fronts a throng of photographers and jokes, “it’s like running for office”, AAP reports. It’s been a presidential-esque welcome back to the Tamworth Country Music Festival for Urban, albeit a brief one. The global superstar returned to Australia’s country music capital, the place where his career began, to be inducted into the Roll of Renown at the Golden Guitar awards on Saturday night.
The roll honours artists who have made a significant contribution to country music and includes stars like Slim Dusty, Anne Kirkpatrick and Kasey Chambers. Urban remembered lining up at the Roll of Renown as a boy when Dusty was inducted. At age 11, he asked Australia’s father of country music to sign the sheet music for hit song Lights On The Hill.
