Keith Urban gave just a few hours’ notice before performing a free concert Friday night (Aug. 16) in the parking lot of a large convenience store and gas station in north Alabama.
Hundreds of people turned out for the show in Athens, about 100 miles (161 kilometers) south of Nashville. It was outside a Buc-ee’s, a chain of roadside stores known for barbecue.
“I came down to this Buc-ee’s about a month ago. And when I left, I went, ‘It’d be kind of fun to do a show there,’” Urban told the crowd during the concert, according to an Instagram video posted by WAFF-TV in Huntsville, Alabama.
Urban said his “caveman brain” told him it would be fun to set up a little stage for a small audience.
“I swear to you, I thought maybe 100, 200 people,” Urban said as a video showed a larger crowd.
People started gathering hours before the show, news outlets reported.
“I was at work and we heard it on the radio that there was going to be a surprise concert at Buc-ee’s in Athens,” Cindy Wilson told FOX 54 WZDX-TV in Huntsville. “And I was like, ’Oh my God, it’s on my way home.’ And it’s 15 minutes from my house. So I couldn’t believe it.”
While he was at the store, Urban also worked behind a food counter. A video showed him wearing a Buc-ee’s T-shirt and apron as he poured barbecue sauce on some brisket and chopped the meat into smaller pieces.

More rounds of strong to severe storms will be possible both today and Sunday in Alabama.
Not everyone will get rain or a storm, but where they do form they could become intense, according to the National Weather Service, with damaging wind gusts capable of knocking down trees and power lines. Heavy rain will also be possible.
Severe storms on Friday knocked down trees and took out power in parts of northeast Alabama, according to reports to the weather service.
NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has all of north and most of central Alabama in a Level 1 out of 5 (marginal) risk for severe weather today (see today’s outlook at the top of this post).
A marginal risk means that isolated severe storms will be possible. Storms will be the most likely during the afternoon or evening.
There could be a few more storms around on Sunday, and the Storm Prediction Center has a Level 2 (slight) risk in place for parts of south and central Alabama:
Areas in yellow will have a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather on Sunday, and areas in dark green will have a Level 1 risk.SPC
A Level 2 risk means that isolated severe storms will be possible.
Much of the rest of the state will also have a Level 1 risk on Sunday.
Temperatures will be very warm today and Sunday, and heat advisories will be in place today for the Alabama counties in orange:
The Alabama counties in orange will be under another round of heat advisories on Saturday.NWS
The heat index, or “feels like” temperature, could reach as high as 110 degrees in parts of south and west Alabama today.
Here are the forecast high temperatures for today:
Very warm and humid conditions are expected on Saturday in Alabama.NWS
Hang in there. Slightly cooler temperatures are expected to reach parts of north and central Alabama starting on Monday, with more reasonable highs in the 80s and low 90s expected.
South Alabama is expected to remain on the hotter side, however.
Here are Monday’s forecast highs:
Temperatures will back off a bit in north and parts of central Alabama by Monday but will remain hot in parts of south Alabama.NWS
