The Signal

Keith Anderson Country Singer/Songwriter Keith Anderson’s latest song “I’ll Bring The Music” sums up Anderson to a T. &nbsp;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 &amp; 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, &nbsp;and pitch everything else to other artists”, says Anderson. &nbsp;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 &amp; 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”. &nbsp;This success prompted music trades Billboard and Radio &amp; 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 StillMiss 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 &nbsp;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”. &nbsp;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”.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/147474/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Haus of Flow Special Event
About Haus of Flow: Haus of Flow is a Chattanooga-based wellness collective that blends the energy of house music with the grounding practice of yoga. Created by DJ LEVERÓN, yoga instructors Jimmy Urciuoli and Daniel Brown, the experience invites people of all backgrounds to move, breathe, and connect in a welcoming, community-centered environment. Each event begins with a live DJ set accompanying an all-levels yoga flow before naturally evolving into a social afterparty where guests can stay, dance, connect, and celebrate together.
Jimmy Urciuoli – Yoga Instructor: Jimmy discovered yoga in 2012 while recovering from an injury, and what began as physical rehabilitation soon became a lifelong practice supporting his mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Since earning his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification in 2013, he has led more than 1,800 classes. His teaching blends yin and breath-centered vinyasa with an emphasis on mindfulness, accessibility, and self-discovery. As an LGBTQ+ advocate, Jimmy is passionate about creating spaces where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered to move authentically.
Daniel Brown – Yoga Instructor: Daniel's movement journey began in dance, including time as a guest dancer with Ballet Pensacola. He discovered yoga as a complement to his dance career and quickly recognized its ability to cultivate both physical resilience and emotional balance. Beyond his 200-hour yoga certification, Daniel has continued his education in Pilates, sound therapy, group fitness, and holistic wellness. His classes encourage practitioners to trust their bodies, move with intention, and explore strength through curiosity rather than perfection.
LEVERÓN – DJ &amp; Producer: LEVERÓN is a Chattanooga-based DJ, producer, and event curator known for crafting immersive musical experiences that prioritize connection over convention. With an ear for deep grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and unexpected selections, his sets are carefully curated to create a journey that invites people to move, explore, and lose themselves in the moment.
As co-founder of Haus of Flow, LEVERÓN brings the live soundtrack to every experience, blending music with movement to transform a traditional yoga class into something more immersive and communal. Whether behind the decks at an intimate gathering or a packed dance floor, his goal remains the same: to create spaces where people feel present, connected, and free to express themselves.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156559/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Paul Cauthen Alternative Country Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. And for country provocateur Paul Cauthen, that code is simple. Always bet on yourself. A singer-songwriter with a well-documented distaste for playing by anyone else’s rules, the East Texas native spent two decades clawing his way through the country underground, embodying the independent spirit with a monolithic Big Velvet vocal. Fusing classic-country grit, gospel power, and a rhinestoned rock edge, four previous albums proclaimed his singular style with a booming baritone and near-biblical swagger. Taught to sing by his grandfather in a Church of Christ, Cauthen hit the scene with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, before My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down, and Black on Black unveiled a vulnerable, fire-and-brimstone songwriter with brazen Texas attitude – craving deliverance, yet possessed by a “bird dog” instinct for theatrical rapture. Cauthen has toured the world, collaborating with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Cody Jinks, and Lana Del Rey. And with favorites like “Cocaine Country Dancing,” “F*ck You Money,” and his GOLD-certified collab with Shaboozey on “Last Of My Kind,” he counts 442 million global streams. Cauthen’s fifth album, Book of Paul, takes him further down his path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud, and with two middle fingers in the air. Co-writing 12 of 13 tracks, the troubadour confesses to his wild side and wrestles with the sin. He spares no detail – and makes no compromise.
