Joyce delivered a flawless performance of the challenging guitar solo during the song, leaving the stage with a sense of accomplishment and pride. He had not only impressed himself but also proven he could thrive under the intense pressure and bright lights of an arena show.
In an interview with *American Songwriter*, Joyce described the experience as “surreal,” saying, “This has been a dream of mine, and I always thought if it ever came true, I’d play ‘Good Thing’ because that’s my favorite song. It’s almost automatic—every time I pick up a guitar, I play that riff.”
The life-changing moment inspired Joyce to make a bold move to Nashville, the epicenter of country music. Today, he and Lex have built a life there, overcoming the challenges of starting fresh in a new city. Despite his success, Joyce remains deeply connected to the journey that brought him to this point. In 2020, he posted a photo on Instagram with Keith Urban from the night they performed together, accompanied by a heartfelt caption:
“Four years ago last night. Learned so much from this man, still can’t believe this actually happened. Thank you @keithurban #keithurban #nashville #dreamscometrue #thankful.”
During his *American Songwriter* interview, Joyce expressed his gratitude to Urban, saying, “To Keith, the biggest thank you in the world. You’re the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place. Thank you for trusting me to come onstage and for giving me that opportunity.”
Joyce’s appreciation for Keith Urban’s support runs deep, and perhaps one day, he’ll have the chance to repay the favor.
