This how a pop-up show is supposed to be done.
Keith Urban gave just a few hours’ notice before performing a free concert Friday night in the parking lot of one of God’s gifts of a convenience store and gas station in the great state of Alabama.
Apparently well over a thousand people turned up for the pop-up show in Athens, which is about 100 miles just south of Nashville. It was outside a Buc-ee’s store. I mean juts when you think a Buc-ee’s can’t get any better…this happens.
Keith told the crowd, “I came down to this Buc-ee’s about a month ago. And when I left, I went, ‘It’d be kind of fun to do a show there,’”
He said his “cave man brain” told him it would be fun to set up a little stage for a small audience. He didn’t think that many would show up.
I’m guessing he forgets that he’s actually Keith Urban. He went on to say, “I swear to you, I thought maybe 100, 200 people,” which is why they got that little stage. From the looks everything. That little stage worked out perfectly.
Keith even helped serve some of Buc-ee’s famous bbq. He’s a man of the people y’all.
