Keller Williams to Perform at Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip, 12/4

Keller Williams takes the stage at Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip, presented by Las Vegas Jam Band Society.

Keller Williams, an American musician from Fredericksburg, VA, is often described as a ‘one-man band' due to his frequent use of live phrase looping with multiple instruments. Keller first appeared on the scene in the early ‘90s, and has helped define the term ‘independent artist.' His stage shows are built around singing his compositions and choice covers while accompanying himself with an acoustic guitar connected to a delay system allowing him to simulate a full band. This technique was derived from hours of playing solo with a guitar and mic, and the inability to afford humans to make up a full band. Williams' solo live shows quickly became the stuff of legend, and his audience began to grow once word about his exciting, unpredictable shows began to spread.

Today Keller still is exploring and expanding- although he stays close to traditional bluegrass and eccentric song choices. No matter what direction Keller goes in musically, he is likely to continue to surprise fans lyrically. Keller Williams is known for writing about subject matter most simply described as "unusual."

Keller states, "In the history of music, there are trillions of love songs and there are so many political songs. I try to find subject matter that's not been written about or maybe hasn't been written about much."

In December, Keller Williams releases his 17th recording, Bass, which is Keller's first-ever release playing only bass guitar. Bass is said to have a reggae/dub/funk feel to the album.

The performance will take place on Sunday, December 4th at the Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip (3771 Las Vegas Blvd S. (Across from Monte Carlo) Las Vegas, NV 89109. Doors open at 7 pm 18 AND UP

Tickets are $17 in advance and $20 day of show. Tickets can be purchased at the Hard Rock Cafe Box Office or at ticketweb.com.
