Superstar Keith Urban took a time out this of his Summer Lovin' Tour to drop by a few summer music festivals as part of KC Masterpiece-sponsored "backyard barbeques."
"We're in the midst of making a record, so it's been a year of a few shows and a lot of time in the studio," Urban told Parade magazine. "We haven't played outside in a long time. It seems as if a majority of our tours are in arenas, so all the festivals this year have been wonderful. It's just been great to play for a lot of people who probably haven't seen us play. Every night, faces of strangers out there singing along every word and just the energy in the audience is really amazing. It's all pretty magical to me."
The Country crooner said the time out from regular touring helps with the family schedule. "I know for me, family is first and I just make sure that I spread my time amongst the things that I love to do as well. Balance is never achieved, it's just maintained. And so far I've been able to maintain it."
Fans can check out Urban on his current summer tour, which continues with John Mayer in George, Wash., this week. For more info, check out www.keithurban.net.
