Keller Williams is an American musician from Fredericksburg, VA, who began perfoming in the early 1990's. Williams' music combines elements of bluegrass, folk, alternative rock, reggae, electronica/dance, jazz, funk, and many other assorted genres. He is often described as a one-man jam-band because of his use of live phrase looping with multiple instruments. Although he is known primarily as a solo act, he has toured with bands such as Yonder Mountain String Band, The String Cheese Incident, and Umphrey's McGee. Two other projects he is well known for is the WMD's with Keith Moseley (bass, String Cheese Incident), Jeff Sipe (drums, Aquarium Rescue Unit), and Gibb Droll (guitar, Gibb Droll Band); and Keller & The Keels with Larry and Jenny Keel. He recently released a studio album geared towards children entitled Kids. Keller also hosts his own radio show called Keller's Cellar which has a live online stream. This video is "Freaker by the Speaker" from his album Laugh.
I have seen Keller numerous times and I would strongly recommend seeing this fella live. He has a great onstage presence and will definitely impress and even surprise you. He can play just about anything so be prepared for a cover song or two that might possibly blow your mind. Look for more videos on Youtube and Vimeo and you will see just what I am talking about.
