Country sensation Keith Anderson performs on the Main Stage Saturday night
Keith Anderson could be the poster child for the notion that good things happen to good people. He's quickly earned the reputation of being an adept writer of award-nominated hits, not just for his own projects but for other artists as well, and his good guy persona is as widely known as his high energy, let's-get-this-party-started live shows.
The release of his sophomore album C'MON! finds Anderson, the Grammy-nominated songwriter, in fine form. He co-wrote 10 of the disc's 11 tracks, pairing with some of Nashville's top tunesmiths including Rivers Rutherford, Tim Nichols, Chuck Cannon, Vicky McGehee, Jeffrey Steele (also the disc's producer) and Bob DiPiero. “I wrote by myself for so long that it's fun to co-write,” the Oklahoma native says. “I'm just such a social person that I love people and working together with them. Different co-writers have different strengths and I think you tend to tuck away certain ideas for certain co-writers.”
Catch Keith on Saturday, April 27, at 8:30 p.m. on the Main Stage. The performance is free to the public.
