Keith Anderson and Meg Allison will bring a terrific musical performance to the UK campus," said SAB Concerts Director
Joshua Rupp. "I hope students, along with members of the Lexington community, will join us for this great night of country music."
According to his agency, every song Keith sings sounds like a hit, and the proof is in his top-10 debut, "Pickin' Wildflowers," and his most recent hit, "Every Time I Hear Your Name." Just months after releasing his debut album, Keith was ranked as country's number-one new male artist of 2005 by Music Trades Billboard and Radio & Records.

Anderson has also been named Men's Fitness magazine's "Ultimate Country Star."
Meg Allison, a finalist on the hit show "Nashville Star," will be opening for Anderson. Allison performed at two National Associations for Campus Activities conferences where she booked over 80 shows in one semester. As an emerging country artist, Allison recently released her debut album, "Missing Piece." Traveling coast to coast, Allison has been perfecting her craft making a name for herself through successful songs like "Old Soul," "Back Up" and "Kiss Me Tonight."
