Jason Richardson and Luke Holland today announced they will debut their newest album release, II, on October 1 at 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) via an international, live streaming performance exclusively on HITKOR. This will be the duo’s first online streaming event that will feature tracks from both their debut and most recent release. The broadcast will be available to the public in more than 30 countries. Virtual tickets are $17.99, while All Access passes that include behind-the-scenes content and interviews are $19.99. Included with every ticket purchase are five free issues of Premier Guitar magazine.

Richardson and Holland have amassed millions of social media followers and hundreds of millions of video views of their online performances. Richardson, 31, a Virginia native who lives in Los Angeles, is a progressive metal guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and instructor who has also designed signature guitars with Ernie Ball Music Man. Guitar World recently proclaimed him one of the 20 best guitarists on the planet. Holland, 29, hails from Arizona and also lives in Los Angeles. Currently, on the road with Falling in Reverse (which earned its third number one on Billboard‘s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart earlier this year), Holland won ModernDrummer Magazine’s 2022 Reader’s Poll for the streaming and social media category and has played with acts including RÜFÜS DU SOL, Playboi Carti and more.

Keith Urban’s first instrument was a ukulele at age 4. When he started learning guitar two years later, he complained that it made his fingers hurt. Eventually, he came around. As did the world.

Throughout his over-30-year career, Keith Urban has been known more as a songwriter than a guitarist. Here, he shares about his new release, High, and sheds light on all that went into the path that led him to becoming one of today’s most celebrated country artists.

There are superstars of country and rock, chart-toppers, and guitar heroes. Then there’s Keith Urban. His two dozen No. 1 singles and boatloads of awards may not eclipse George Strait or Garth Brooks, but he’s steadily transcending the notion of what it means to be a country star.

And it’s that genuine quality that privileges you or I, as the listener, to recognize him in tone or lyrics alone, the same way one knows the sound of Miles Davis’ horn within an instant of hearing it—or the same way one could tell Hitchcock apart in a crowd by his vibrantly hued, often loudly patterned fashion choices.
