Keith Urban Snags Two CMAA Awards
There’s no question that Keith Urban is one of the most famous Australian country singers, well, ever. Therefore, it’s no big surprise that he snagged not one, but two awards at a Country Music Association of Australia event on Saturday, adding to his huge collection of accolades.
The association granted Urban with a pair of their esteemed Golden Guitars at the 40th Jayco CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia this weekend. The ‘You Gonna Fly’ hitmaker was crowned with the Sanity Top Selling Album of the Year win, as well as the Male Artist of the Year award.
Though Urban has planted his roots in America and calls Nashville, Tenn. home now, his notable tally at the 2012 CMAA Awards proves that he has stayed relevant back in his home country. Last week, the 44-year-old country star headed to a Nashville restaurant to celebrate the success of his song ‘Long Hot Summer.’
Urban is still recovering from throat surgery, but is expected to make several other appearances in the coming weeks — including one at the Grand Ole Opry on Feb. 3.
