AceShowbiz - Country star Keith Urban is offering an aspiring musician the chance to play as the opening act on his next tour. The singer/songwriter has also agreed to appear on the debut album of the winner of the talent competition, sponsored by the Guitar Center retail chain in the U.S.

Urban explains, "I'm always ready to do whatever it takes to give aspiring musicians the chance to do what they love. I think we've all heard someone whose musical talents blow us away and sometimes all that stands between their garage and an arena is a chance."

The contest will close at the end of next month. Unsigned artists across the U.S. are invited to submit their music at YourNextRecord.com for a chance to win the aforementioned prize package.
