Artist Bio:
Keller Williams has built a career on his uncanny ability to captivate a packed house-all by himself. He's been called a "one- man band." A "solo cult-hero." "Music's mad-scientist." All of which are clever labels for what seems to be an essential truth: On stage, Keller Williams works alone.
For over 100 shows a year, Williams has proven himself to be a master of improvisational performance art. In his one-man show, he pads barefoot from guitar to bass to percussion stations, using looping effects-and enough instruments to stock a strip-mall music store-to layer sound atop sound until the stage swirls with a full-blown composition.
While Keller has made liberal use of technology throughout his career, he knows that musicianship is ultimately a human undertaking. With a seemingly unquenchable thirst for all genres of music - bluegrass, jazz, and-who'd-a-thunk-it-hard rock - occasionally Williams puts unyielding faith in a backing band. Whether performing with solo or with Grateful Grass, Keller, Moseley, Droll and Sipe or Grunge Grass (just a few of his "band" projects), Keller Williams knows best how to please a music hungry crowd
Recent festivals include High Sierra Music Festival (Quincy, CA), Langerado (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), All Good Festival (Masontown, WV), Wakarusa (Lawrence, KS), DelFest (Cumberland, MD) and ROTHBURY Festival (Rothbury, MI)
Keller has been touring the US sharing dates with: Dave Matthews Band, The String Cheese Incident, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Yonder Mountain String Band, Ratdog w/ Bob Weir, Rusted Root, Taj Mahal, Charlie Hunter featuring Norah Jones, Martin Sexton, Michael Franti & Spearhead
Music lovers pack the venues to witness the inventive solo performance that has garnered this genuine talent the nickname of "Mad Scientist." Many have used similar techniques on stage and in the studio, but no one has taken it to such heights as Keller Williams. Keller is back on the road with his solo show.
