BMI and ASCAP celebrated the creative powers behind Keith Urban’s recent No. 1 hit “Long Hot Summer” (Capitol Nashville) at a party held yesterday (Jan. 25) at Cabana. Urban co-wrote the song with Grammy winner Richard Marx, and it’s his 13th overall No. 1.

During the event Urban invited two fans, whom he found on YouTube performing the song, to join him onstage for a sing-along.
