The Live Daily Interview


A Special Evening with Keller Williams
July 27-

Keller Williams has been called guitar’s mad-scientist, a one-man-band for the new millennium and dozens of other clever sobriquets dreamed up by fans and music journalists trying to get a handle on his uplifting and ever-shifting style of music. Williams is considered by some but not by himself, to be a master of the acoustic guitar, known for his ability to solo over layers of spontaneously created loops. If pressed for a definition, Williams, as adept with language as he is with a guitar pick, calls it “solo, acoustic jazz reggae technograss” - or simply - “solo acoustic dance music.”
