Grammy Award winning country superstar Keith Urban is on the road again in 2012!  Keith and his band, along with Lindsay Ell will perform in Halifax at the Halifax Metro Centre on August 19th.  

Lindsay Ell hails from Calgary, AB and started her music career at the age of fourteen when she was discovered by Randy Bachman. Bachman described her as "the most talented and multi-faceted artist I've come across in many years." Ell has performed at numerous festivals and Olympic events. She has shared the stage and won the respect of some of the industry's biggest names including; Buddy Guy, Bachman Turner, Jeff Beck, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Ronnie Dunn, Chris Isaak & Shawn Mullins.  Lindsay recently signed an international recording deal with Broken Bow/Stoney Creek Records, home of country superstar Jason Aldean and Thompson Square.  Lindsay Ell is currently working on her next record in Nashville with new music to come later this year.

Critics have called Keith Urban’s shows “one of the best reasons in the world to attend a live concert.”  They’ve said that fans would be “hard-pressed to find a better country - or rock - show anywhere.”   Urban’s catalogue of hits; “Better Life,” “Somebody Like You,” “Days Go By,” “You’ll Think Of Me,” “Sweet Thing” and his latest hits “Without You,” and “You Gonna Fly,” will give his fans a unique concert experience that has earned Urban a reputation as one of music's best live performers. 

Urban’s sixth studio CD, Get Closer, was released in 2010.  The album, which has produced the hits “Put You In A Song,” “Without You,” “Long Hot Summer,” and “You Gonna Fly,” follows two previous consecutive Billboard country and pop #1 albums, as well as five previous CDs, all of which have been certified platinum or multi-platinum.
