Keller Williams first appeared on the music scene in the 1990's and has steadily redefined what it means to be an independent artist. Throughout his career, Keller has built a reputation for putting on engaging live performances - none of which are ever alike - and quickly became the stuff of legend with his extraordinary improvisation skills. 16 recordings into his career, his audience continues to grow exponentially, with work quickly spreading of this exciting and unpredictable performer.

The Fredericksburg, Virginia native is often referred to as a one-man jam-band because of his frequent use of live looping tools while utilizing multiple instruments throughout his performances. Recently Keller has been touring with his six-piece funk outfit, More Than a Little. This December 30th, Keller will take over The Vic in Chicago with More Than a Little by his side to get the funk down with another legendary jam-band group, Leftover Salmon - a Boulder, Colorado six-piece musical machine that produces nothing awesome tunes for the consumption of your hungry ears. On the 31st, Keller will be playing one of his legendary solo shows while helping Leftover Salmon celebrate their 25th anniversary with Bill Payne at their side. These musicians are always on a quest for something new and have ever followed the path laid out by the conventional music business, and this is a path that has served them well. Don't miss your chance to see this legendary acts ring in the new year in the legendary Vic in historic Chicago, Illinois. Tickets can be found HERE, for the 30th, and HERE for the 31st. We hope to see you there!
