Keller Williams

Fri Nov 6th 2026 | Doors 7:30pm | Tickets $30-37 Virginian Keller Williams released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single-syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS, ADD, SPEED, CELL, DROLL, and now DEER.

Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. Keller’s albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Un-beholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk, and bluegrass, always keeping the audience on their feet.

Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. For most of his career, he has performed solo. His stage shows are rooted around Keller singing his compositions and choice cover songs, while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, bass, guitar synthesizer, and drum samples—a technique called live phrase sampling or “looping.”
