Concert review: Keith Urban and his guitar put on an exuberant Grandstand show

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:56 GMT

There was a time when rock ‘n’ roll and country were at war with one another. Your average rural music lover was either tuned to a radio station that poured out soaring electric guitar solos and thundering bass lines or to twangy fare that was one pealing pedal steel guitar note this side of campfire folk.Then up from Australia came Keith Urban to bridge the divide. He arrived in Nashville late last century to forge a truce between devotees of Led Zeppelin and Merle Haggard. He built his music on the traditional country structures, but loved to insert thrilling guitar solos into his tunes that would be equally at home on classic rock radio.If anyone among the 13,421 at Saturday night’s sold-out Urban show at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand came doubting that his distinctive hybrid has been a success, such misgivings were surely dispelled by an exhilarating 95-minute set during which the 55-year-old Nashville veteran seemingly exhausted every ounce of energy he had available.

SAN JOSE — Asher Hong was beaming Saturday night as he stood at the top of the podium with a gold medal around his neck. “It’s awesome,” said Hong, the new U.S. all-around champion. “I’ve put in a lot of hard work… just to get to this point of feeling consistent and comfortable with all of these routines. To see it pay off in the end is very relieving.” Hong captured his first national all-around title, recording a two-day score of 170.930, a full point better than his Stanford teammate Khoi Young, who finished in second.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Texas Rangers stopped their eight-game losing streak with some extra patience.The Rangers ended their season-worst skid and remained tied for the AL West lead with a 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins, after Robbie Grossman and Leody Taveras sparked a four-run ninth inning Saturday with consecutive bases-loaded walks.“They’ve been going through a lot when you go through a stretch like this, so good for them,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “We had some great at-bats there in the ninth inning.”Adolis García and Mitch Garver, who both homered, greeted reliever Griffin Jax (5-8) with back-to-back singles.
