Rob Joyce Shares His Story: How He Went from Fan to Playing Guitar with Keith Urban

- On, July 2, 2016, Rob Joyce and his girlfriend, Lexi took signs to a Keith Urban concert in Gilford, NH. Rob's sign said, "Can I play your guitar?" Lexi's sign said, "It's his birthday!" Keith took a chance, invited Rob up on stage, and let him play his guitar. Rob started playing Keith's "Good Thing," and the rest is history. I interviewed Rob to clear up a few things and see how he's doing now that he has moved to Nashville.

My sister gave him the sharpie to make the sign when we were in line. We waited hours. Rob and Lex were very nice people.
So how long did it take you to realize that this was the guy you let borrow the pen?
Were you apprehensive at all like "I really hope this nice guy doesn't embarrass himself" or had he told you that he was good?
Did you see them after?
He CLEARLY says "Look at that, like a champ, come up here BROTHER."
Who can't hear?
lmao yeah tell me about it, first time i actually listened to that part 'properly' and he clearly says 'bother' haha how do people get 'rob' out of that? ....
@@krist8362 Well in this era of q-anon and space lasers starting forest fires, probably no limit to what people will believe.
I was there in line talking to rob and lex for hours before the show. We were right next to each other until they moved a little bit to the right of us. No way that was staged. It was a pleasure to have a few hours to talk to him and his girlfriend. Both are very kind individuals and can’t say enough about how great that experience was. Not only for them but for me being able to be in there lives for a brief time and to see that happen for him. Congratulations man you run with it and never look back.
Good everyone saying would he nail it. Of course he NAILED it its practice. He wasn't lucky and just got lucky and killed it.
HE PRACTICED and killed it.
I live in Boston and was at this show stage right about 10 rows back. No way it was staged. It was a huge risk and it worked out.
yes That's what we've all gotta do, you like a tune or song, then Learn it,Practice it, 'n' do it again 'n' again 'till you've Nailed it, NOW you can Do it, That's how it works, every time 😮😮😮
Keith definitely said "brother"
You were amazing Rob!
Rob, I stumbled across this video of your performance several months ago, and not only have I watched it multiple times, but it has brought the biggest smile to my face every time. Just can’t stop tapping my foot during the performance, and imagining how absolutely cool that would have been to be you, just for that moment in time. Thank you so much for brightening my day, several times.
Your humility Rob, wrapped around your talent will hopefully take you into a great career! Happy for you! Congratulations!😎👍🏼
Well Said👋👍👍
So many miracle moments here... their signs are barely big enough to be seen... she says “he could be your backup guitarist” with authority, conviction... he starts into the song immediately, which gave it a chance to be played... the drummer gets back to his set to give the intro the momentum it needs to keep going...the song almost concludes at the end of the fist verse, then KU picks it back up to continue, allowing for the rockin’ solo. Some things are just meant to be, and this was one of them. So happy for this kid.
rob is the man, and he said "get on up here bro" im amazed that people are in disbeleif, rob you rock. theres a million people out there that have talent and dont get the chance that rob got. im just glad he got the chance to run that band on that song. i loved it!! thank you Rob for that experience!!!
Definitely was not staged. I was at the concert. I have been to a few Keith Urban concert and this one by far was the best. Rob killed it!!!
Thanks for the interview to both of ya... Hope everything turns out great. Love from Denmark :-)
Just saw the Gilford video, one of the coolest things I've seen in a very long time . Like Keith said ," you killed it ". Very happy for you Rob . I'm a huge country music fan .. So gad your in Nashville playing the music you love . Looking forward to seeing more of your music .many thanks and and all the best . RJ from NH.
Great interview Kit thanks for the heads up.
I definitely don't believe it was staged, and clearly Keith was either saying "bro" or "brotha". I actually was not really into Keith Urban before watching the video, but have begun listening to him and learning more about him since seeing it. From what I can tell, he is very passionate and grateful for his fans, and seems to have a very positive habit of interacting with his audience and trying to make them feel as much a part of his music and his concerts as possible; Instead of the audience just being a party to his music, he seems to work really hard at making them feel a part of it. After seeing this and watching and listening to more of Keith Urban, its been a rather strange case of me being impressed enough with the guy that I have found myself listening to a genre (country) that I would normally not listen to much. I hope he keeps doing what he is doing. And as far as Rob goes, his practice and preparation finally met opportunity, and he was ready to make the most of it; Props to him, he deserves whatever doors that have opened as a result of his hard work and performance.
Brotha!
100 % not staged and you would think the reporter would get the facts and watch as he said .26 seconds in. Pretty clear that he said Brotha. Pretty sad to ask that. Rude. Reminds me of the interview on the DEWEY COX you would think you would do your research before doing an interview. Come on dude. I believe the reporter thought the same even though he knew the exact time it happened. Then he should no exactly what was said . COME ON UP HERE BROTHA. CRAPPY REPORTER & quit focusing on signs and trying to make him out to be someone he is not. GET A DIFFERENT JOB YOUR BLAND DEMEANOR IS BORING. WOULD'VE ENDED THAT INTERVIEW REALLY QUICK. Boring reporter and monotone voice. Step into my office because you are FREAKIN FRIED.
I watched it right after it happened and never realized it got this big....i saw Keith's video afterwards, i was pumped for this kid!
"Get on up here brother."
That's what it sounded like to me on the first listen or "Come up here brother", but definitely sounds like "brother" not "Rob". I don't buy it as staged just by watching the bassist's face.
Actually I think he is saying "bro". If you listen at the end when they are done playing Keith is saying "god bless you, bro" ( straight after " you´re gonna play more than pool tonight")
yup he said brotha
There are always some people who have to be critisizing the luck of someone else because it never happens to them. It's easy to go online and write down 'staged' and stuff like that and create controversy, rather than the fact that Rob just had his breakthrough and cannot be happy for him because of poor self reflections.
It's just the way some people are, I quess.
Anyways, I check this vid every once and a while because the sound quality is really good and I enjoy the way it's been played live by Rob :).
sounds a lot like " bro " to me, definitely not " rob "
Keith is far too classy to have ever anted to stage anything like this. His reactions and emotion is real.
"Get on up here brother"
He says Brother, 100% listened to it 10 times, but it is definitely " brother"
He said get on up here bruh, this was not staged lol this guy had his mind set and rocked it, never seen anything like this rob your awesome. Im a guitarist myself for 13 years and honestly I know that great musicians can just click like that and only us musicians can fully understand that.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’ sounds like all the ones saying Staged Don’t know Keith Urban ! He’s that kind of musician, He’s a phenomenal entertainer 🎸 HE LOVES his fans & it shows. He doesn’t just yell greetings from the stage out to the crowds. He proves it by his actions. Where ever Keith plays he usually does pick someone bc something caught his eye. Maybe a funny or meaningful Sign /TShirt whatever it may be. But ya he’ll bring you up there to talk, sing. And it shows that he enjoys it he’s having a good time when he’s interacting with his fans. That’s just who he is. He LOVES his fans he shows us he does. It’s another great reason of why he’s Loved n respected so much ❤️🎶🙌🏼🎸
Rob did an incredible job. Thanks for this, video, Kit.
He said "Come on up here Bra" suffer pronunciation of Bro....plain as day
Yup def is get on up here bro “bra” ppl just gotta try and pick apart everything I don’t think it was staged and man that kid can play !!!
Very proud Aussie and happy another Aussie showed how welcoming we are. Rob, you F&cking nailed it.
I’ve known different Keith Urban musicians. If anyone would have suggested to stage this he would be brutal with them. He’s no nonsense behind the music
He said, Get up here Brother
Sounds like, "Get on up here, brother" to me! Wicked experience and fabulous job, Rob! 🎸😎🤘🎶😍
Hes Also played with brad paisley and switch foot. This guy is a natural and so calm during this interview. Wonder where hes at now 🤔
He is the guitar player for Riley Green now.
good interview KIT you did a great job with Rob in this interview and you ask very good questions...GOOD JOB....
Congratulations to you Rob and Lexi.. Wishing y'all a wonderful life's journey together... You're Absolutely Awesome
I think it is awesome how everything has worked out and I wish Rob the best. Keep performing.
"Get up here brutha"
Cianna McCoy Yup. His accent is the thing that makes it possible to decipher as otherwise
Good interview. Best of luck for all of you.
Awesome duet with Keith...Just discovered it ! Great great job you' ve done ! Awesome player you are !!!! I will follow you, for sure....Best regards from France
You deserve it Man !!! 🎸👍👍👍
Keith said: "Get on up here brother!" Rob was brilliant!
I remember watching this and I absolutely Lost it 😂 Rob just Shredded Keith's poor little Tele to pieces and of course I showed everyone I could find just how Badd this boy was . Absolutely Loved it !
He actually said bro. clear audio. damn fine job.
Come on up here "bruther" is what Keith said. It was not staged. You can tell by Keith's reaction when Rob started playing. Awesome job Rob. Hope it propels you to greater things.
Rob is a guitarist and mandolin player for Riley Green now. Check him out! Living his dream!
Why do some people want to believe it was rigged? Just take it for what it was, a super great walk on moment, Rob's birthday, Urban being the very cool guy he is. Oh and Rob just slaying Keith's guitar :) Thx for this interview, Kit.
One of my favorite videos!
It sounds like Keith said come on up here bro with his Australian accent
Well. I believe it was a magical moment.
It wasn't staged, if it was, the guitar techs would have had a guitar ready for Keith to play, he kept looking over hoping they'd get one, but they just weren't ready, fumbling around with that acoustic, etc,....
It was spontaneous, and great.
Exactly.
I believe it was completely real and not staged. I'm 99.99% sure Urban says "get on up here BRO" it sounds nothing like Rob. Love the video, awesome opportunity for Rob and he crushed it. KU 1 of my favorites and a great guy, just 1 of the many many things he does to bring people joy. Hope things are going well for u Rob keep going and same to you Keith keep going 1 of these days your gonna make it big 😜
Really nice young man. Well done...
I slowed down the audio.. Defanatly not "ROB"
HE SAYS "BRAH" ...
Obviously.
You can clearly hear him say come up here brother. And really Keith Urban wouldn't stage something like that he's a huge star. Thumbs up to Keith Urban and to Rob Joyce that was awesome. God bless Keith Urban and keep on rockin Rob
Shane Miller nailed it. He said "get on up here brother"
He said come on up here brother. Who ever said otherwise wasn’t listening close enough cuz what it doesn’t sound anything like get up here Rob
I freaking loved it!
i guess i will never understand why people need to question a persons experience.
Yes, I saw the video. Feel so happy for Rob, and so nice of Keith. It must have been a small thing for Keith but it sure made Rob big. I am sure Rob is more motivated. When someone climbs the stages of life, critque sure do follow. In simple English its called "JEALOUSY". Just watch the video, see Keith call somebody out of his band onto the satge and let him play - simple - finish. Why waste energy and time in being inquisitive about if it was staged or not. Go Rob Go! You did great.
He said come up here...Brother!!
Dude played a super cool thing. It was Keith’s rig though and it was f’ing good. I love a spanking tele tone. Nothing like it.
Freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
ROB you nailed it for sure , Hope you Have Great Bright Future remember Lexi Get royalties Asome Mate Tony From Australia
Definitely come on up here brother
He said get on up here brotha!
Nice guitar work Rob
He also played onstage w “Switchfoot”
Keith Urban said, "Get up here brotha"
People can be so dumb. lol "Get on up here brotha."
He said get on up here brother!
He said and I quote, "come up here brother!"
Michael Lamielle I agree. I wanted to clear that up for those that thought it was staged.
Keith has that Australian accent which makes it sound a little different, but I am pretty certain he called him Bro when he was coming up to the stage.. He also called him Brother when he gave Rob a hug after the performance.
He said come up here brother!!
Clear as day with earbuds @ :26 seconds in… like a champ, come on up here brotha!!! … he did say it fast but still…
"Get on up here, brah!!"
Kit, pse do another update interview when Rob finishes touring as part of Riley Green's band on his current tour. We'd love to hear how he landed that gig, and what it was like playing for Riley Green.
I'm interviewing Rob and maybe other members of Riley Green's band when they play the North Georgia State Fair.
I don’t think it was staged. I think Keith Urban is just a all around good guy. Rob, you did really awesome!
He said come on up here brother!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen again, get on up here, Brother.
Yeah , Like a champ. Come on big brother.
Keith said, in his Aussie accent, "come on up here, brotha." Very clear that he did not say, "Rob". Lol.
Keith Urban did a twitter question and answer session with Maren Morris a couple weeks afterwards, and he fielded a question "What's the craziest thing a fan has done on stage with you?" He mentioned about Rob not as a crazy incident but a crazy awesome thing because he was amazed at Rob's ability....but he did say then that it was not staged, there was no plan to bring Rob up, it was just one of those things that just happened to work out splendidly. So that should put to rest any arguments whether it was staged or not
1:00 Keith is clearly saying "Come on up here, brother!", it's just his Aussie accent probably makes it sound like something else to people who have never heard an Australian accent, lol.
He actually says get on up here brudda, In his Australian Slang voice, i’ve been an avid singer for almost 30 years so if I was invited up somebody stage it would probably be the same way doubters would think that it was staged
He said "Get on up here BROTHER"
He Said "Come up here Brother"
Get on up here brotha
It sounded like Keith said brother…listened to it a few times…
Keith said, " C'mon up here brah"
I always thought he said "Come up here, big brother!"
He said "come up here brotha"
Ya. He says "get on up here brother." Which makes sense, because near the end Keith calls him brother again.
"come up here brother"
Keith doesn't say "Rob". He says "come up here, brother"
The comment about like a champ was how fast he jump on stage without help.
BROTHER COME UP HERE BROTHER
I may be naive, but I didn't think it was staged. it seemed real to me Rob. Best of wishes to you, brother. I know you'll do well.
wow great job, Kit, being able to talk to Rob like that. I have a couple of questions for Rob, too...has he stayed in touch with Keith Urban or his people? I sort of imagined a couple of scenarios where Keith would show up somewhere that Rob was playing and surprise Rob....:)
Would he ever try and play again with Keith onstage? Would he jump at the chance to join Keith's band and actually be his backup guitar player? And BTW, I for one NEVER believed this was staged....it was just one of those once in a lifetime moments that just worked out so well for everybody concerned, especially Rob!
Rob has not been in touch with Keith since that moment, but he has seen him in concert several times since. Wouldn't it be cool if Keith were in the audience at one of Rob's shows and held up a sign that said "Can I play your guitar?"
that's what I thought would happen on one of the times KU was in Nashville....just show up at one of Rob's club gigs and come up and jam with him.
Come up here, Brother. Clear as can be.
You played with Cody Purvis? Wow, I know the lead guitarist that's playing with him now!
I think Keith said, "Come on up here brother!"
He said come on up here brother
Keith clearly says "come up here brother!"
a few questions for Rob, if you ever get a chance to speak to him again: 1) was there ever a moment up there on stage when it suddenly hit you that HOLY JEEZ, this isn't just a dream I have been having, I really am up here on stage in front of 20thousand people, I realy am playing Keith Urban's guitar, and there is Keith Urban standing just feet away from me singing while I am playing! ? 2) what did you you say to Keith when you handed his guitar back to him and he said "It's all good, man!" ? 3) did you play more than pool that night? (No you don't have to answer that one, LOL!)
Sounded to me like he said get up here 'BROTHA'
Get on up here brother
He said brotha.
he said come up here brother
Sounded like brother to me honestly
He said get on up here big guy. That was it.
