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. 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, which is the case for this show's second set... KELLER MIXES IT UP FOR SET TWO! Keller announces special musical guests on March 5, here at the Orange Peel in Asheville - Gibb Droll (guitar) and Jeff Sipe (drums) join Keller on stage for a smokin' second set. See you there!
