On July 23 Keith Urban, three-time GRAMMY winner and one of country music's most successful and influential artists, headlined the GRAMMY Foundation's signature benefit Starry Night concert at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at the University of California, Los Angeles.

As part of Urban's sold-out, two-hour concert, six GRAMMY Camp participants were called up to the stage to perform Urban's No. 1 hit "Days Go By." Katie Gavin of Winnetka, Ill., Savannah Meares of Santa Barbara, Calif., and Brenna Miles of La Canada Flintridge, Calif., sang background vocals, India Pascucci of Burbank, Calif., played drums, and guitarist Kristen Castro of Simi Valley, Calif., and violinist Kevin Schwarzwald of Pacific Palisades, Calif., were both featured with solos during the song. The crowd reacted with thunderous applause.

Rising folk/rock stars the Avett Brothers opened the benefit. Starry Night was sponsored in part by Coca-Cola and TastingRoom.com. This event was presented in association with the Farmers Classic tennis tournament presented by Mercedes-Benz, and was held three nights prior to the tournament's opening. Starry Night benefitted the GRAMMY Foundation's GRAMMY in the Schools music education programs for high school students and the Southern California Tennis Association's foundation.Subscribe NOW to GRAMMYs on YouTube: grm.my/1dTBF8H
