Went to school with him. Saw him playing open mic night every tuesday at the restaurant I worked at. Nobody would go on after him so he'd wait ill everyone played their bit. Very classy guy!
gamerserver1 He used to play at Bw3’s restaurant here in Steamboat back in the 90’s... He was just another local that could play guitar... he blew up and no one saw him again
Saw him on my birthday many many years ago. Had never heard of him. I walked away very impressed and a fan. It was right after Michael Houser had passed on. Keller busted out a Panic cover and it sealed the deal for me. Thanks Mikey. Thanks Keller.
I had met Keller Williams in 1995 in Charlotte NC after a Dead show around 2am in the parking lot of the hotel and he was playing some Dead and he asked if he could play some of his own tunes and just blew us away! this was back when he was selling his cd 'Freak' out of the back of his truck, bought one and turned a lot of people on to it. one of the guys I turned on to it ended being his road mng. Dave Scott, if anyone knows of him, he stayed with him for quite awhile. he played a friends birthday party, on his back deck. this was in the mid to late 1990's and have taped him many, many times.
+Jeffrey Young I've only known about Keller for a few years, I knew he was around for a long time but didn't know that he was around that long. Awesome story.
LOL .... me too. Oh, btw, when is he NOT tearing it up. Ummmm maybe when he takes a sec to sing acapella, whistle or etc. He's awesome. Hope you are doing well. 🙏😎🙏
Yeah pretty much the biggest influence on my musical career. But I use pro tools and Ableton. But do you know how hard it is to loop like that just on the spot? Like next fucking level!! Respect my dude!!
Me too. I also always recommend this song to people. I love watching him live. He has so much fun up there and you can really tell he absolutely loves what he does.
I was lucky enough to walk him back to his car after a show one time. I was just a fan, but we chatted about northern Virginia and Hampton Roads traffic like we were buddies. He was super excited about the homemade chicken dinner his wife had packed for him. Great guy ❤
This would have been around the time I first saw Keller live. Dude puts on the best shows. From what I remember of it, it was a hell of a good time in a small venue. He's still touring and I am trying to see him in July for the first time in 20 years and you know what? I guarantee he still rocks.
I worked at the BW3’s restaurant in Steamboat Springs back in ‘96... Keller lived here and played open mic night every Sunday night..he was just another local back then that could play the guitar...a lot of people doubted him but as soon as I heard him do the Sanford and Son I was like this guy is going to the big time! Then a few years went by he disappeared from Steamboat and before ya knew it he was on Panic Tour... nice work Keller! Come get some freshies in the Boat!!
Try to also get into Jack Rose, he’s also from Fredericksburg, VA and I feel represents the other side of the solo guitar coin. You won’t be disappointed!
2024. I had to visit this song. Keller Willaims will be known by Moore than he already is known by. I see a breakthrough. Knowledge is power they say. Keller knows more cords than Chuck Norris knows Punches. Times change kids. Let's Ride Kellerd Wibes to move forward. Whistle outside with the crickets.
Going to see Keller here in North Carolina (Carolina Theatre in Durham) on Feb. 16th, 2017 along with Leo Kottke. Should be a magical evening for sure!! :-)
I just saw them in Ft Lauderdale. I wanted to see Leo for ages. I've seen Keller a few times before. South Florida is a little bit of a music desert. Amazing show that I won't forget. No loop machine or anything this time around. Just straight guitar and piano with some fun audience participation.
I like Keller Williams and really dig it from a guitarists standoint. He is clearly a freak of nature. If he could connect emotionally and melodically he would be a household name, but I really think he hides behind his insane chops and it is why you know guys that strum bar chords by just their first name, and if you heard of Keller it is because you were looking for real estate and clicked here or showed up early for a String Cheese show.
I stumbled upon this late one random night, as it aired on a just as random college television station (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it was. I was in college at the time, ten years ago, so I'm making an assumption on this.) More than a decade later, and it still sounds fly as funk to me. Also, is that Shauna Malwae-Tweep?!
This song is very technically impressive, it's got got a catchy chorus, nothing is wrong with it but it just doesn't give me the same super happy enjoyment feeling that some other songs he has like doobie in my pocket. This is a good video however to be like look at what a master of his craft he is. However the whole reason I wrote this very lengthy preamble is because despite that there is one quick transcendent moment that everytime I listen to this it's because I want to hear this part. After the first chorus when he stops playing guitar and whistles Andy Griffith, the part where he just quickly transitions into the second verse that says "rave girl..." I don't really know what it is about it but it just makes the hair on my neck stand up. It's so good.
I saw Keller for the first in 2010 at Starry Night Music Festival in Bowling Green Kentucky and I had never heard of him. But after he was introduced he went into a solo for about 15 minutes and it was as if my brain had completely melted. Honestly changed my whole perception of music.
IN MORE THAN ONE WAY!! lol allgood this year was the best!!!seen him up front and im seein him new years in rva.CANT WAIT!! GOD BLESS KELLER FANS EVERYWHERE!!
Someone just told me that I remind of you so I thought I'd come by and hear you....I feel like that was a great compliment after hearing you . I'm Tommy Young at reverbnation under alternative in Austin 'Indian Bluegrass
met him in a bar in Virginia Beach called Hammerheads he was doing the happy hour playing only three people in the bar he gave me one of his CDs and I drink a beer with him
Holy CRAP!!! That man's a genious! I was a programmer at a radio station last year, and I remember the day that his Dream album came in and I geve it a listen, I have to say it changed my life. haha
I'm in the Recipe :) The female vocalist currently, (and hopefully for a long time,) Shannon. Had a great morning Sunday. I missed Keller though because we didn't get there until late Saturday. We played with him at Gratefulfest on July 4th, too. Very talented.
@38sydsdad , Thanks man, I am and you are much appreciated for the turn on. Great musicians are always welcme in my house :-) Reminds me of the very beautiful Michael Hedges may he rest in Peace.

Yo which restauran?? i live in fredericksburg as well
The 45 people who disliked this video do not know nor appreciate great music. Keller Williams is an incredible musician.
It's every other looping musician except for Marc ribbilet

+Jeffrey Young Thats a great story Jeff. I saw Keller as a HS freshman in 2000 for the first time and love hearing stories of 90s keller meetings
+Jeffrey Young That's pretty cool.
+Jeffrey Young I've only known about Keller for a few years, I knew he was around for a long time but didn't know that he was around that long. Awesome story.
I had no idea he was so from back in the day. I learned about him around 05, 06.... all my friends listening to electronic stuff and me chilling
Show us videos!
17 years later: still holds up.
Thats what i love about the internet. you search through shit after shit but then, you find that one. the one video to rule them all.
He has a great Real Estate Agency.
Ha, nice.
Haha i always laugh at those signs. Its not the same is it.
It's definitely not the same
I like the part where he's tearing it up on guitar.
So, all of it?
@@SydneyBooksMusic I was just going to say that lol
@@imwiththeunderhills2128 , we are always older than yesterday and younger than tomorrow my friend.
Trust me, I come from a week in the future!
LOL .... me too.
Oh, btw, when is he NOT tearing it up. Ummmm maybe when he takes a sec to sing acapella, whistle or etc.
He's awesome.
Hope you are doing well. 🙏😎🙏
Which one? LOL...
33 people don't know what true talent is.
that guitar lick is addicting
holy shit hes crazy with the guitar!! =]
So ahead of his time
I have never seen someone go so hard on an acoustic this is awesome
Yeah pretty much the biggest influence on my musical career. But I use pro tools and Ableton. But do you know how hard it is to loop like that just on the spot? Like next fucking level!! Respect my dude!!
Then you need to check out a fella named Monty Montgomery!!! He will BLOW YOUR MIND!
I just can’t fucking get enough of this. I come back every couple of days for the feel goods
Me too. I also always recommend this song to people. I love watching him live. He has so much fun up there and you can really tell he absolutely loves what he does.
I love how he turns down the master with his nose. BRAVO Keller.
Keller is one badass mother.
I urge everyone to go watch one of his concerts.
Incredible one man band. So glad I got to see him at Waka.
I was lucky enough to walk him back to his car after a show one time. I was just a fan, but we chatted about northern Virginia and Hampton Roads traffic like we were buddies. He was super excited about the homemade chicken dinner his wife had packed for him. Great guy ❤

Love Keller. Was there in the beginning of my festival career. and he still in the scene today.
I worked at the BW3’s restaurant in Steamboat Springs back in ‘96... Keller lived here and played open mic night every Sunday night..he was just another local back then that could play the guitar...a lot of people doubted him but as soon as I heard him do the Sanford and Son I was like this guy is going to the big time! Then a few years went by he disappeared from Steamboat and before ya knew it he was on Panic Tour... nice work Keller! Come get some freshies in the Boat!!
This song has been stuck in my head for the past few days. And let me just say these past few days have been great.
This is so incredible live!
This guy is amazing its crazy how he can comprehend how to mix all the instruments together himself and make it work.
Only "discovered" this guy in an old guitar magazine this week. OH MY GOD - WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING !!!!
Try to also get into Jack Rose, he’s also from Fredericksburg, VA and I feel represents the other side of the solo guitar coin. You won’t be disappointed!
2:39 lol BEST DANCER EVR!!!!!!!!!
love u keller
Look up Ian Curtis dancing when singing its so much fun

i listen to this song 5 times a day when i walk home from school and while doing homework. i know every word to this song. and i love it >:)

i saw him open for Govt Mule last december, i honestly had not heard about him till then., I have all his cd's now.

Also, is that Shauna Malwae-Tweep?!
Keller Williams is so amazing. So is DMB. Y'all are haters. Spread light not darkness
Talk about a one man show,,, the best part is he doesn't need anyone else, awesome!
its only 5 min away from me,jus saw keller in Ithaca,ny march 29th..one hell of a great show!
This song is very technically impressive, it's got got a catchy chorus, nothing is wrong with it but it just doesn't give me the same super happy enjoyment feeling that some other songs he has like doobie in my pocket.
