Keith Urban to Headline Special Q&A Session on St. Jude Support at CRS 2026
Country Radio Broadcasters has announced that Keith Urban will participate in a special Q&A session at CRS 2026, focusing on his support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Urban has a long history of involvement with St. Jude, including hospital visits, fundraising efforts, benefit concerts, and interactions with patients. The session, titled “The Power Of Music And A Mission,” will be moderated by iHeartMedia Nashville Program Director Gator Harrison on March 19.
The relationship between Country radio and St. Jude dates back to 1989 when Randy Owen of Alabama issued a fundraising challenge at CRS. Since then, the Country Cares radiothon program has raised significant funds for pediatric cancer research and treatment. Urban's appearance at CRS will delve into these experiences and highlight the enduring partnership between Country radio and St. Jude.
CRS 2026 will take place from March 18 to 20 at the Omni Nashville Hotel. The event will feature educational sessions, networking opportunities, the New Faces of Country Music Show, CRS Honors, label luncheons, and the Digital Music Summit. Keith Urban's participation in the event adds a philanthropic spotlight to the agenda, showcasing the impact of music in supporting important causes like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
