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”. For most of his career he has performed solo. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. The end product is music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet. Un-beholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. Keller’s albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. 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 and CELL.
