Incredible
by TA on 4/1/19Revolution Live - Ft LauderdaleOne of the best shows I've ever seen. Keller is incredible, the band was fantastic, and the blue-grass versions of Petty's songs were amazing.

About
KELLER WILLIAMS IN CONCERT:
Jam master Keller Williams is the kind of performer who's so rare and so multitalented audiences will be raving about him for years to come. In concert Williams bounces around the stage while conjuring up infectious grooves one sound at a time through virtuosic looping -- a technique that allows him to recreate the sound of a full band onstage by crafting intricate arrangements with a variety of instruments. It's a skill that he's perfected over the course of his nearly 25-year career, and it's as mesmerizing as ever during his unmissable performances. Whether he's playing alone or with one of his several backing bands, ticket buyers are treated to high-energy, feel-good shows that showcase Williams' quirky songwriting, joyous stage persona, and masterful musicianship.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Since first appearing on the scene in the early '90s, Virginia native Keller Williams has earned a glowing reputation as a one-man jam band. Williams is a self-taught musician who grew up heavily influenced by artists like The Grateful Dead and guitar virtuoso Michael Hedges, and by genres ranging from bluegrass and reggae to electronica. Throughout his career Williams has fused all of those inspirations together to create genre-bending music that is astoundingly innovative. He's toured with several popular jam bands -- including Umphrey's McGee, Yonder Mountain String Band, and The String Cheese Incident -- and wowed crowds at festivals like Bonnarroo, AllGood, and Rothbury. Beginning with his 1995 debut album Freek, Williams has made more than 20 records, both as a solo artist and as a collaborator with acts such as The Travelin' McCourys, More Than A Little, The String Cheese Incident, and The Keels. With an ever-growing fanbase and tons of talent to spare, Keller Williams is a thrilling live act concertgoers won't want to miss.

by JaviAz on 4/9/18Revolution Live - Ft LauderdaleKeller never seems to even stop the music. Always keeps it entertaining with his dancing and body language. I look forward to see him again.

by Foreverkind8 on 4/4/18State Theatre - St PetersburgAfter seeing Keller many times in many locations nation wide I was so excited! I took a friend who I thought would truly appreciate his art! His preformance was more like a psychotic episode! The first 45 minutes I thought he was putting things together waiting for the art I know of his work. It never happened! More like tuning his equipment and seeing how much he could put together with no flow or substance. I will question before going to another show if given opportunity.

by nonamie on 4/2/18State Theatre - St PetersburgThe last time we saw him he was interesting, fun, and fresh. This concert dropped the ball in every way. I would never go see him again after this. Just boring.

by WonderstoneGypsyQueen on 12/11/17F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreAwesome performance in a dance inspiring venue. I'm happy I got there early so I could be up front. Sad for others who were stuck behind a couple extremely tall folks who planted themselves front and center.

by BigGuy32 on 10/10/17Aura - PortlandAwesome!!. Hope Keller comes more like twice a year instead of one!!.

Rating: 3 out of 5 strange pairing of talents
by Anonymous on 2/20/17Carolina Theatre - DurhamLeo Kottke is great guitarist and songwriter. Definitely worth the admission. Keller is funny to an extent. I have heard him with other bands like SCI, McCourys, or at festivals and he can add to the band. By himself, I was not so enthusiastic. Especially following the guitar talent displayed by Kottke.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Went for Keller and Loved Leo!
by GoValGal on 2/19/17Carolina Theatre - DurhamI knew Keller would be awesome as he always is, but I honestly had no idea who Leo Kottke is and was refreshingly introduced to a wonderfully seasoned guitar player who has obviously been around for years yet somehow was under my radar. I love when that happens! Kottke played the first set, then there was a quick duo performance before the intermission. My guess is that Kottke left and turned in while Keller put in his own set to seal the show. Amazing guitar playing, many laughs, supereb venue, great night!

by goofusbird on 2/19/17Carolina Theatre - Durhami came to see leo kotke- last time i saw him was 46 years ago- he amazed me then and he amazes me now- he is somewhat diminished in power but not in goofiness/ and mastery of guitar picking- he owns the style- you hear him and you know it is leo- wonderful/ self effacing extraordinary guitar player and teller of tales- feels like an old friend. Never heard keller williams- his talent is jaw dropping- loose and ironic- amazing chops and stories told in song but in total control- i can see why he was put with leo on this bill- he feels like the one to carry on the torch- i think if leo and the Reverend billie c wirtz had a love child it would have been keller- came for leo but would come back for this lunatic genius
Rating: 3 out of 5 Wanted more Leo Kottke!
by Mommus41 on 2/19/17Carolina Theatre - DurhamWe came to hear Leo Kottke and had no idea that he was just "opening" for Keller Williams. We'd never heard of Williams and it's just as well. I guess he has a following because not everyone left after intermission when we found out that Kottke had "left the building." I suppose we should have gotten the clue beforehand since Keller Williams was billed ahead of Leo Kottke. But who is greater than Leo Kottke?? He makes a guitar sound like 3. Amazing finger work. It seems Williams is "famous" for a lot of albums with one-word titles. He thinks he's funny. We don't.

by BurnieG on 2/19/17Carolina Theatre - DurhamStarted out OK with Leo Kotke but went downhill from there. Nothing but riffs. Left early in the middle of a piano riff by Keller Williams who appeared to be high on something other than his music.

by ThatGuy69 on 2/23/15Birchmere - AlexandriaHe didn't play any if his known songs. No place to stand without being in somebody's way. Everyone was sitting down at tables having dinner in a standing room event. Requested a popular song and Keller was a jerk about it. Wasted my money at this event. And uber couldn't find the place. Took an hour to get back to DC.

by Sac87 on 11/9/14Port City Music Hall - PortlandThis was one of the most interesting shows I've been to! All solo or the first half with looping and machines that was really fun to watch and showed how talented Keller Williams is. So much fun! Then for the second half of the show he was joined by More Than A Little, a funk band originally from VA that was so great! I told everyone that I went into this show knowing it would be a fun night out and it's exceeded my expectations by so much! If he's in town and you're on the fence about going, stop thinking and just buy the tickets. You won't be let down!
