Keith Urban Inducted into Grand Ole Opy

Many people may think that music stars start with a big recording contract but that’s not true. My parents went to Nashville on weekend and found a bar where many of them first got recognized as a good singer. 


This isn’t a big bar it’s a little hole in the wall. There has been 5-6 artist get a recording contract that just started singing there.


The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee you have to be invited to sing there. I didn’t know this until I heard a radio broadcast about Keith Urban getting invited to sing there. He is playing there April 21, for his first time at the Opry.

To be able to sing at The Grand Ole Opry is a privilege not every singer is able to sing there. Most of the ones that sing there become LEGENDS.


Keith Urban has been singing country music since he before he came to American. He has been here for twenty-one years. To many this is a dream that only a few get experience.


As of April 21st 2012 Keith Urban is the newest member of The Grand Ole Opry. When singers become members they are awarded with a 14 inch replica of the microphone and then they get a cake that looks like a Fender guitar.
