KEITH URBAN’S BANDMATES BRAD RICE AND BRIAN NUTTER KEEP THE SHOW GOING WITH VOX’S HERITAGE COLLECTION
MELVILLE, NY, October 20, 2008 — A country artist with crossover appeal, Keith Urban has an awards shelf that overflows with GRAMMY®, CMA, ARIA and Billboard nods. For his stadium-packing live shows, Urban has tapped two other top axmen, Brad Rice and Brian Nutter. Both are multi-instrumentalist masters – playing guitar, mandolin and banjo – with many noteworthy credits. Nutter was recently in the studio with famed producer/songwriter Desmond Child, and he performed on GAC’s latest season of The Next GAC Star. Rice has released his own album, Karma Bed, in addition to touring and recording with Son Volt. And both Nutter and Rice keep the music going with their handwired VOX Heritage Collection AC15HTVH Heads and matching V212HTV Cabinets.
Rice explains, “We’re using it on all the TV shows we do. It’s a really good amp. I don’t need an amp with three or four good sounds; I need an amp with one really good sound. It’s a very classic and authentic one.” Nutter’s take on the AC15HTVH and V212HTV pairing is equally enthusiastic: “It’s really, really amazing. They’re just the perfect size and the right sound for everything we’re doing on stage. For me, it’s the coolest thing they make right now. Period.”
Keith Urban is nominated for 2008 CMA Entertainer and Male Vocalist of the Year, thanks in part to the tremendous onstage talent of Brian Nutter and Brad Rice.
