Although soon-to-be daddy Keith Urban easily played for a crowd of 50,000 at the CMA Music Festival, he happily performed for a group of only 50 right afterwards.The private show on June 7 was dubbed a "backyard barbeque." Fifty lucky contest winners were treated to an intimate show and meet-and-greet with the country superstar. Urban signed autographs, posed for photos and then performed a 45-minute set for his small audience.
"Meeting the contest winners today was great, because most of them came to a show we played last night," Urban told PEOPLE magazine. "There seems to be more sort of energy when people have just seen you play, and we all get to meet each other. . . That's the perfect crowd to play to."
