Keller Williams Comes To The Shore
There are no better words to describe the one-man-band that is Keller Williams than passionate and genre defying. The 49 year-old musician is his very own jam band, a rockstar, and singer-songwriter all rolled into one. His style ranges from blues-induced rock to jazz to reggae to progressive bluegrass and just about everything else. Williams has never pigeon-holed himself when it comes to what his voice, his lyrics, and his instruments can do, making him one of the most inspiring, iconic, and bewildering artists to have ever seen the light of day. He is unique and creative, talented and artistic, passionate and genre defying. He has an intimate and probably soon-to-be legendary show coming up at the Stone Pony on Nov. 2.
