Keith Urban To Perform with Young Musicians from the GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY Camp During Monday’s ‘American Country Awards’

Country music superstar Keith Urban is set to perform with seven young musicians who have participated in the GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY Camp music program on the American Country Awards, airing live from Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Monday, Dec. 10 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. The performance is intended to highlight the need to support music-based initiatives that attract young people to music and encourage their musical pursuits. As part of the campaign, a $25,000 donation will be made to support the GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools programs, including scholarship support for GRAMMY Camp.

Through the years, Urban’s commitment to music programs has been consistent and unwavering. He’s been an active participant in the efforts of The Grammy Foundation’s Grammy Camp and Nashville’s Music Makes Us program and has encouraged aspiring musicians by giving them the opportunity to perform. His annual “We’re All For The Hall” concerts have raised nearly $1.5 million for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which supports numerous music-based initiatives, and just recently he participated in the Hall’s first All Access music program.

Additionally, hosts Trace Adkins and Kristin Chenoweth each will be added to the list of performers for American Country Awards.

The two-hour, star-studded special also will feature appearances by Eli Young Band, Florida Georgia Line, Gloriana, Love and Theft. Previously announced participants include Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Casey James, Miranda Lambert, LeAnn Rimes, Lee Brice, Jana Kramer, Dustin Lynch, and Chris Young.

The two-hour live music spectacular offers country music fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite artists not only in traditional categories, but also in a previously unrecognized area – touring – encompassing the entire spectrum of country music.
