With a career spanning over 30 years, Keith Urban used his time in the spotlight to create a career that continues today. Outside of marrying Nicole Kidman and working with stars like Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, and Eric Church, the country star also released 11 studio albums. As he prepares for the release of his new album High in September, it appears that Urban once took the stage for a special performance alongside both Chris Stapleton and Vince Gill. Even with Urban sharing countless memorable moments over the years, few compare to listening to the trio showcasing their talents on the guitar.

Posted online seven years ago, the video below presented Urban on the stage with Stapleton and Gill to close out his song “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” Just one of his hit songs, the trio decided to expand the song a little when they started rifting on the guitars. With the crowd energized by the performance, the stars seemed to relish in the iconic moment.
Fans Gush Over Vince Gill’s Guitar Skills
Looking at what fans had to say, comments included, “Once again Vince comes on stage looking like someone’s dad who heard someone attempting to play a guitar. In he walks, says to his kid “here, hold dad’s beer, I gotta go show ‘em something.” Another person added, “Keith and Chris are great, but Vince is on a whole new level. Phrases, licks, choice of notes, melody wise. Just colorful and impeccable.”
While all parties are phenomenal guitarists in their own rights, fans couldn’t get over Gill’s next-level shredding. “All very talented musicians. But Vince Gill just plays at a superhuman level. He is an absolute master of phrasing,” one fan wrote.
Keith Urban Prepares For The Release Of New Album ‘High’
Although spending decades in the music industry, Urban discussed his upcoming album and how he still loved the entire process of making a record. He told Billboard, “It’s always fun for me. I know it sounds crazy, but I get more excited now to write a song than I ever did.”
Excited to share High with fans, Urban insisted the excitement of music never left. “Even making the current record was a crazy mix of fear, excitement, discovery, curiosity, passion — just everything. I went through everything with this record, because I’ve never made this record. I’ve never seen this day. We’ve had plenty of fun but we’ve never had this one. And that’s just how I live my life. Every single day is a brand new blank canvas.”
