Keith Urban Goes Into Promotional Overdrive For Next Week's Album Release

Keith Urban’s “No Frills” tour, part of Verizon’s VIP Tour and the live concert debut of music from his forthcoming March 31st CD release Defying Gravity, kicked off last week before a raucous crowd that ate up the Grammy Award winner’s gritty and intimate performance at the House of Blues in Dallas. What followed was another jaw-dropping performance at San Francisco’s legendary Fillmore. But his “No Frills” tour isn’t the only place where Urban can be seen.

In fact, before this week concludes Urban will have performed six songs for an iTunes Originals, two songs for the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which airs on Wednesday, April 1st, as well as a Yahoo! Pepsi Smash, which will air next month. The week concluded in grand fashion Friday (March 27th), with Urban’s first solo performance at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.

Next week, release week, will see Urban on the East Coast in New York City for an appearance on The Today Show (Wednesday, April 1st), ABC’s Nightline, and for a taping of AOL Sessions. On Wednesday night Urban will perform at New York City’s Webster Hall, his first concert appearance in New York since his sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden.
