Keith Urban on Preview Tour

Country Music superstar Keith Urban has embarked on a six-city tour to promote the March 31 release of his next album, Defying Gravity, CMT.com reported yesterday.Named the Verizon VIP Tour, the series of shows will be intimate performances at select theaters and clubs and are designed for audiences that connect with Urban's music via mobile devices, television and broadband."Clubs are where it all began," said Urban. "There's just something about the way the band grooves and how the audience gets right up there close and personal, and I love it. So for me there's a nostalgic cool factor in doing this with Verizon."Fans can acquire tickets by downloading his music or videos from Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music service. A select group of fans will receive digital tickets, sent directly to their wireless phones; these digital tickets will grant them VIP access to the show.Verizon VIP Tour dates:3/18    Dallas,TX — House of Blues3/24    San Francisco, CA — The Fillmore3/27    Los Angeles, CA — House of Blues3/30    Chicago, IL — Joe's Bar on Weed Street4/1      New York City, NY — Webster Hall4/3      Philadelphia, PA — Theater of the Living Arts Read Webb's Woof for comments on this story and more!
