Keith Urban’s All for the Hall- Tickets On Sale Date Change

Keith Urban and an all-star lineup of friends will return to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, January 18th, for a concert to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. Reserved seating tickets, which are priced at a family friendly $25 and $35 (does not include Ticketmaster surcharge), will go on sale December 2nd at 10:00 a.m., rather than November 4th as originally announced. A limited number of VIP ticket packages will also go on sale on December 2nd at Ticketmaster.com. (Complete ticket purchase information is below.)

The show-which will feature performances from an all-star line-up including Urban, Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill, Rascal Flatts, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Little Big Town, the Oak Ridge Boys and additional artists to be announced later-again promises to be a one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime evening of music, friendship and camaraderie.

“The support that this event has received over the past couple of years, I think, really speaks to the commitment to and the importance of preserving the past and protecting the future of country music,” Urban said. “We’ll have some great bands performing-part of our ‘All Together Now’ theme for the night-an especially fitting concept that we hope will capture the spirit of the evening.”

“The first two We’re All for the Hall concerts have been landmarks for this institution,” said Museum Director Kyle Young. “They have been the most successful fundraisers in the museum’s history, together raising roughly $1 million. And they have not only set a new standard for fundraising and event coordination, but also brought together an entire community and helped us to see what can be done by individuals when there is a collective passion for a cause.

“It is beyond gratifying” Young continued, “when the artists we love and chronicle, artists like Vince and Keith, offer us their leadership and financial support. Keith Urban grew up in a home where country music was cherished. He knows the music’s history and its heroes. He is one of country music’s greatest champions and he is one of this museum’s heroes.”

Country Music Billboard Charts – 5/27/2011

   

Brad Paisley is sitting on top of Billboard’s country songs chart with “Old Alabama.” Rascal Flatts has gone from fourth place last week to second with “I Won’t Go.” And Miranda Lambert’s “Heart Like Mine,” drops from first to third.

Not much movement on Billboard’s country albums chart. Just like last week, Jason Aldean’s “My Kinda Party” is in first place and Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now” is in second. The third and fourth place albums have switched places so “You Get What You Give” from the Zac Brown Band now is in third and “Paper Airplane” from Alison Krauss and Union Station is in fourth.

Country Music Billboard Charts – 5/6/2011

   

Time got away from me on Friday and I forgot to post the top country music songs from Billboard….OOPSY!

Sara Evans’ position on Billboard’s country songs chart is the same as the title of her single: “A Little Bit Stronger.” That’s because the song has moved up from second to first place. Miranda Lambert moves up, too. “Heart Like Mine” goes from third to second. The anthem from Kenny Chesney’s new tour, “Live a Little,” goes the other way: from first last week to third.

Billboard’s country albums chart, Jason Aldean returns to first place with “My Kinda Party.” Alison Krauss’ “Paper Airplane” goes from first place to second. But the real news on Billboard’s country albums chart is in the third and fourth positions. Emmylou Harris’ new one, “Hard Bargain,” debuts in third. And, the latest from Steve Earle, “I’ll Never Get Out of this World Alive,” debuts in fourth.
