Last night, Washington, DC’s Hamilton Live hosted the annual Grammys on the Hill Awards, and the honoree of the ceremony, Keith Urban, ended up welcoming Blues Traveler’s John Popper on stage for one of the country singer’s tunes.

In a night that also featured Wynonna Judd performing with several members of Congress (both Democrats and Republicans, as The Hill notes), Urban and Popper jammed on a run of Urban’s “Wasted Time.”

Also during the night Urban took time to speak out against recent proposed cuts to funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), saying how important music education was to him as a child.

“It’s important to me personally because I started playing guitar when I was 6,” Urban said, according to The Hill. “It doesn’t take much for me to think about how fortunate I was to have basic music class. When you start seeing schools doing away with that, making them smaller and smaller — that’s a problem for me.”
