From Keith Urban B-Day Wish to Music City

KEITH URBAN took a really big chance by letting a fan come on stage and play guitar during his show.  Fortunately, it paid off because the guy has serious skills.  This was at a 2016 concert in New Hampshire. The fan’s name is Rob Joyce, and it all started when his girlfriend held up a sign that read, “It’s my boyfriend’s birthday.”  Keith brought him on stage as he was talking to the girlfriend, and she blurted out that “he could be you backup guitarist.”

Next thing you know Keith’s giving him the guitar off of his back, and the guy launches into “Good Thing”.  Keith jumped in with vocals and they played the entire song.  Rob even shredded the guitar solos.  (Here’s video.  The song starts at 1:06.)

UPDATE:

Well, Rob didn’t fade away.  He took his talents to Music City and after playing with singers like Cody Purvis and Bucky Covington, he’s now the guitar player for RILEY GREEN(Here’s a clip of Riley getting help from Rob on guitar and vocals during a live performance of “If It Wasn’t For Trucks”.)

(Props to WhiskeyRiff.com for posting this great story about Rob.)
