Keith Anderson
8:00 pm-9:30 pm
Singer/Songwriter Keith Anderson's latest song "I'll Bring The Music" sums up Anderson to a T. That is
one thing that you can always say about this academic athlete from Miami, OK, who has always excelled
at anything he has put his mind to, is he WILL bring the Music.
Although he has co-written hits for other artists, most notably "Lost In This Moment", the No. 1 smash
for Big & Rich which garnered him a CMA and ACM Song of the Year nomination, Anderson does not
write with other artists in mind. "I think I'll always write about what I know and feel--and typically with
myself in mind. However, I write a lot and I keep the songs that are really speaking to me when I'm
recording, and pitch everything else to other artists", says Anderson. Anderson also co-wrote the
Grammy-nominated, "Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?)" for Garth Brooks and George Jones,
"The Bed" for Gretchen Wilson and "Barn Burner" for Jason Michael Carroll.
His debut CD, "Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll", was certified Gold and garnered two
Top 10 hits (accompanied by two No. 1 music videos), "Pickin' Wildflowers," and "Every Time I Hear Your
Name," along with two Top 30 hits "XXL" and "Podunk". This success prompted music trades Billboard
and Radio & Records to name him country music's No. 1 New Male Artist of 2005 and the top new solo
country artist of the year.
It wasn't just his music that was getting attention. Anderson was named one of People Magazine's "50
Hottest Bachelors", and Men's Fitness Magazine's, "Ultimate Country Star".
Anderson's sophomore CD garnered the biggest hit of his career, "I Still Miss You", which peaked at #2
and another Top 25 hit, "Sunday Morning In America". Taking the lead with other gold and platinum
artists, Anderson decided to take hold of the reigns this time by launching his music his own way and
letting the fans help drive his music and passion. "I'll Bring The Music" has had a huge resonance with
the fans." says Anderson. "As I tour all over the country, that is the song that gets them on their feet and
is the song they are still singing as they head out the door. It reminds me of how "Pickin' Wildflowers
moved them". And now Sirius XM Radio is "Dancin' To The Beat" as it has been added to The Highway
channel 59's program, "On The Horizon".
