Keller Williams’ One Man Jam Band

Keller Williams (also known as K-Dub or just Keller) is an American musician from Fredericksburg, Virginia who began performing in the early 1990s. His music combines elements of bluegrass, folk, alternative rock, reggae, electronica/dance, jazz, funk, and other assorted genres. He is often described as a ‘one-man jam-band’. Though primarily a solo artist, Keller has toured with several bands that include Yonder Mountain String Band, String Cheese Incident, Umphrey’s McGee and Ratdog. Keller has a audio taping policy of his performances, and for non-commercial trading of the recordings but use of video or flash photography, or any recordings for profit are prohibited. A self-taught musician, he usually performs with an acoustic guitar connected to Gibson Echoplex Delay system, which allows him to shred a riff once on his instrument, record, and repeat it. This lets him play unaccompanied and include a variety of instruments in his shows. His main guitars used are a Martin HD-28 and D-35, an Alvarez/Joe Veillette MTB baritone, a Rick Turner bariton 12-string, a Tacoma Thunderhawk, an early 50’s tempo and a Gordon Anderson custom 8-string.
