'Funky Tonight' is performed by John Butler Trio & Keith Urban at the ARIA Awards Oct.2007
Keith Urban got asked to guest on the John Butler Trio's song Funky Tonight as the closing performance of the Arias in Australia 2 weeks ago.
These guys had not even met before two days out.... But they bonded, they knew their licks and they turned on the most magic moment the Awards night had seen for many a year... Just like Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder at the VMA's.
and through fast and positive action this performance was put to great use. The next day the video of this performance was already up on youtube, and the song had been mixed, approved by the artists and managers and labels and mastered and uploaded on to Australian itunes within 24 hours.
All the proceeds are going to Oxfam's Close the Gap campaign to help combat Indigenous health problems in Australia. Our native custodians have a 17 year shorter life expectancy than their white counterparts.
Music continues to make a difference, and magic moments still happen up their on stage. Thank god for live music!!
