Matthew Pinkham is an adorable little 8 year old. He is a YouTube guitar star, thanks to his musical hero, Keith Urban.
Matthew and his mom attended a recent Keith Urban show in Louisville, Ky. Matthew held up a sign from his second row seat that read, “I want to play ‘Kiss A Girl’ with you.” When his hero saw the sign, he didn’t look the other way. He did what any other hero would do, he motioned for Matthew to come up onstage!
“They were literally mosh-pitting him to get up there!” his mom, Becky, told WAVE3.com. “He walked up there, put his guitar on like it was nothing, like he had been doing it for years!”
After the hoopla, when little Matthew was being swamped with picture requests, he said, “Mom, I should have brought a hat and sunglasses!”
Fans began posting videos of the collaboration on Youtube, and Keith Urban, himself, called Matthew “the bomb” on his own website. The adorable and talented little boy’s electric guitar now features an autograph from Keith, along with signatures from Dierks Bentley (I have a daughter who’d give all her make-up, hair paraphernalia, Hollister tops, and cell phone for that guitar) and others he got at a special event at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Unfrotunately, Matthew is very familiar with Vanderbilt’s Children’s Hospital, due to a bone disease that left him unable to run or play outside with his friends, which is why his mom first encouraged him to take up guitar.
