Keith Anderson
in
Nashville
Born and raised in the small town of Miami, Oklahoma, Anderson has already proven himself as an ace songwriter with the Grammy-nominated "Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?)" which was recorded as a duet by Garth Brooks and George Jones, and "The Bed," recorded by the multi-Platinum Gretchen Wilson as a vocal event with Big & Rich. Every song he sings sounds like a hit, including "Pickin' Wildflowers," his debut single for Arista Nashville.
"His sound hits home with the core country music audience, with Middle America," says RCA Label Group A&R Senior VP Renee Bell, who signed him to Arista. "His music has so much energy, and it's so much fun. It makes you feel good." Anderson earned an engineering degree at Oklahoma State, where he graduated first in his class. He also played baseball well enough to be approached by the Kansas City Royals until a shoulder injury ended his baseball career.
Coming from a loving family, Keith's older brother Brian played guitar in the talent show where he wowed the female audience. "All these girls were going nuts, and
he wasn't the athlete," said Keith. "That's when I got my first taste of how cool music was and asked my brother to teach me how to play the guitar." Brian went on to work at NASA's Mission Control in Houston and developed a self-guided rocket ambulance that can ferry astronauts back to Earth from the space station. "That's why in my show, I joke and say ‘It really did take a rocket scientist to teach me to play guitar'," Anderson said.
Keith fell in love with harmony singing and was always tinkering with songwriting. He and a friend started a singing telegram business and became the "Romeo Cowboys" which got them into radio where their business exploded. He arrived in Nashville in 1998 and formed a friendship with songwriter George Ducas, which enabled him to collaborate with other top tier songwriters. In 2000, Anderson put together a band and started building a following. Within four years of playing in Nashville nightclubs, everyone on Music Row was talking about
this new country music sensation. In the wake of "Beer Run," dozens of song publishers courted him. After a series of showcases in 2004, he was lured by five record companies, which eventually led to his contract with Arista.
