Keith Urban brought his infectious energy to a stripped-down, fan-focused Intimate & Interactive session, where he couldn’t stop raving about “Pink Pony Club”—a standout track from his The Speed of Now Part 1 album. Wearing a fitted black T-shirt and jeans, his fingers flew effortlessly over his sunburst electric guitar as he dove into the song’s bluesy, honky-tonk groove. Between playful riffs, Urban grinned, admitting how “obsessed” he was with the track’s rowdy, small-town bar vibe. His raspy, soulful vocals paired perfectly with the song’s swaggering rhythm, while close-up shots captured every gritty slide of his strings.
The small crowd, seated just feet away, clapped along as Urban lost himself in the music, even teasing a little improvised solo mid-song. By the end, he laughed, shaking his head—“Man, I just love playing this one!”—proving once again why he’s country music’s ultimate entertainer.
His passion for the song was palpable as he leaned into the mic, sharing the story behind “Pink Pony Club”—how it reminded him of his early days playing in smoky bars, where the music was raw and the crowds were wild. The intimate setting made the performance feel like a backstage jam session, with Urban feeding off the crowd’s energy as he traded his guitar pick for fingers, coaxing out soulful bends and fiery licks. At one point, he even stepped back from the mic to let his guitar do the talking, closing his eyes as he lost himself in the melody.
The camera zoomed in on his well-worn fretboard, each scratch telling its own story of countless hours spent perfecting his craft. Between verses, Urban flashed his signature charm, cracking jokes and making fans feel like old friends. By the final chorus, everyone was on their feet, singing along to the infectious hook—”Dancin’ on the tables at the Pink Pony Club!”—as Urban strummed the last chord with a flourish, leaving no doubt why this song had stolen his heart.
The performance was a perfect blend of nostalgia, virtuosity, and pure joy—a reminder of why Keith Urban remains one of music’s most electrifying live acts.
