===Country music=== {{Main|Kevin Costner & Modern West}} [[File:KevinCostnerJuly10.jpg|thumb|upright|Costner on stage in July 2010]] Costner is the singer in [[Kevin Costner & Modern West]], a [[country rock]] band which he founded with the encouragement of his then wife, Christine. In October 2007, they began a worldwide tour which included shows in [[Istanbul]] and Rome. The group also performed at NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Daytona International Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The band released a country album, ''[[Untold Truths]]'', on November 11, 2008, on [[Universal South Records]]. The album peaked at No. 61 on the ''Billboard'' [[Top Country Albums]] and No. 35 on the [[Top Heatseekers]] chart. Three singles ("Superman 14", "Long Hot Night" and "Backyard") have been released to radio, although none have charted. For the single "Superman 14" a live music video was made. In 2009, they went on tour with [[opening act]] [[The Alternate Routes]]. In August, at the [[Big Valley Jamboree]] in Camrose, [[Alberta]], Costner and the band were scheduled next on stage when a severe thunderstorm struck, causing the stage and stands on the main stage to collapse. One person was reported dead and forty injured.<ref>{{Cite news | url = https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/08/02/world/AP-CN-Canada-Stage-Collapse.html | title = 1 Dead, 40 Injured in Canada Stage Collapse | agency = [[Associated Press|AP]] | newspaper = [[The New York Times]] | date = August 2, 2009 | access-date = August 2, 2009}}</ref> Later, an auction was held to raise money for the two young sons of the woman killed.
