THE WATER COOLERS is a New York-based music and comedy group that uses Broadway talent to satirically celebrate the things we share around the water cooler every day – life, work, kids, husbands, wives, travel, technology – and trying to balance it all. Think Seinfeld set to music.

The act was conceived by consultant and former conference planner Sally Allen (National Skill Standards Board, Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education) with actor / comedy writer Thomas Michael Allen (Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding, Late Night with Conan O’Brien) and although it was created specifically for the meetings industry, the act crossed over and went mainstream in 2002. THE WATER COOLERS enjoyed a smash Off-Broadway engagement in the Fall of 2002, did a limited national tour in 2003 and continue to make corporate and theatrical audiences roar all around the country. E! News Daily, E! Entertainment TV calls their show “the sleeper hit of the season!”

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.”
