Keith Urban is no doubt a generous man, and he doesn't necessarily need an A-Lister to come and sing along with him or share the mic. Recently, the singer shared the stage for a song at the Sayer's Club in Los Angeles on Friday night with Dylan Brekke, a day before Urban performed as the headliner at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California.

The superstar invited Brekke on the stage and when Brekke asked, “Do you know ‘American Pie’?” Urban readily came up with the response, “I know all 487 verses.” 

After having that spectacular experience to take away with him, Brekke took to social media to share his experience with the world. At the time, he recalled the magical encounter, saying "I shout out to Keith — and I'm in the second row — 'You inspired me to pick up the guitar! 'And he turns to me and says, in his cool kick-ass Australian accent, 'I'm the reason you picked up a guitar, mate?'"

Brekke's mom, who was also present at Stagecoach, got herself a signed T-shirt from the musical sensation. "He signed my shirt, 'Hi mom! Keith Urban,'" he told the Taste of Country in an interview, laughing. "Keith ... I just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You and Nicole are so sweet and the fact that you saw potential in me, I'll forever be grateful," Brekke later added.  

The megastar also acknowledged the fandom moment with a post of his own, captioned as, “Well Dylan- you might’ve missed Stagecoach – but u sure made up for it!!!!!!! You’re a champion! – KU”
