“I started playing in the clubs when I was about 15 years old, four hours a night, five nights a week,” Urban told the crowd, “all the way up until the late ‘90s when I was still playing the clubs … so tonight we are going to be highlighting the journey from places like that to those who play Nissan Stadium.” He themed the evening “Broad to the Big Time,” offering a retrospective of his career, including footage from a 1997 set of his former trio, The Ranch, playing at Jack’s Guitar Bar off Nolensville Road in Nashville. That timespan also forged a musician with not only ace guitar skills and an encyclopedic knowledge of a range of music, but a level of musical dexterity that allows him to interweave his own hits with snippets and riffs of everything from Ram Jam’s 1977 hit “Black Betty” to interspersing his own “Kiss a Girl” with Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits.” The lofty musicianship displayed by Urban and his band made the meticulously planned set feel spontaneous and freewheeling.

Over the nearly four decades Urban has spent honing his craft, from playing tiny clubs to sold-out arenas, it’s clear that his own passion for music and performing hasn’t dimmed. Tyler Childers Announces 2023 Send in the Hounds Tour
