On assignment for LV Photo, after dinner, community honors and a charity auction that raised more than $1,000,000 during the evening, the 18th Annual Governors’s Black-Tie Invitational – Grand Bash wrapped up the night with a benefit concert by Keith Urban and his band.
Supported by Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, the event is produced by the Southern Highlands Charitable Foundation, created by the Olympia Companies, to raise funds for numerous local charities across the Las Vegas Valley.
Leading the band through a lively 90-minute set, singer/songwriter Keith Urban joked about his formal attire for the evening. He said he has never worn a suit in performance before. For this occasion, he told the band, “We better step it up for this one!”
Musician Danny Rader played a variety of instruments throughout the performance, sometimes stepping in on the bass to fill in for the missing Jerry Flowers, who was unable to make the event.
Musician Nathan Barlowe played percussion, synth and guitar at different times of the show.
Drummer Seth Rausch set the beat throughout the night.
