“Pickin’ Wildflowers” country star Keith Anderson to play UA – Pulaski Tech CHARTS Theater Feb. 28

UA – Pulaski Tech will present country music star and prolific songwriter Keith Anderson as part of the 2025-26 CHARTS Live Performance Series. Anderson will take the stage at the Center for Humanities and Arts (CHARTS) on Saturday, Feb. 28, at 7:30 p.m.

Known for his high-energy performances and hits like "Pickin’ Wildflowers," Anderson brings a seasoned blend of "Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll" to CHARTS Theater. His debut album was certified Gold and earned him the title of country music’s No. 1 New Male Artist of 2005 by Billboard and Radio & Records.

Beyond his solo success with Top 10 hits such as "Every Time I Hear Your Name" and the fan-favorite "I Still Miss You," Anderson is one of Nashville’s most respected songwriters. He co-wrote the Grammy-nominated "Beer Run" for Garth Brooks and George Jones, as well as the No. 1 smash "Lost in This Moment" for Big & Rich, which received CMA and ACM Song of the Year nominations.

"I think I’ll always write about what I know and feel," Anderson said. "I write a lot and I keep the songs that are really speaking to me when I’m recording."

His latest single, "I’ll Bring The Music," has become a staple of his live shows and a favorite on Sirius XM’s The Highway. Anderson’s career also includes appearances on The TODAY Show, Access Hollywood, and the Grand Ole Opry.
