Keller Williams February 28, 2006

One-man bands are usually novelty acts, but Keller Williams is not the typical one-man band. Kellers quirky, humorous lyrics and rapid guitar lines make his live performances dazzling. His stage setup includes a plethora of acoustic guitars in various tunings, an electric bass and guitar, percussion instruments, a theramin, a raised drum kit that he plays with his hands, a midi-vibraphone, and you can hear them all at the same time. Through his live looping of instruments, he can appear to be a 15-piece band with backup singers, or just one man and a guitar. He is his own genre of music and classifies his sound as funk folk and dance acoustic techno.

With a large catalogue of original songs and hundreds of covers in his repertoire, including songs by Coldplay, Nellie, Martin Sexton, and Ozzie Osborne, Keller has become a large draw in clubs and theatres everywhere. He has sold-out a show as far away as Japan, played for 10,000 people in front of the U.S. Capitol, and embarked on his first European tour in November -JON BAHR, Playback -
