Just a man, a guitar and a voice (and some cool effects)
Keller Williams has been in Northwest Arkansas plenty of times. He told the blog he likes playing in the area. He specifically name-checked George’s Majestic Lounge, where he’ll play Aug. 30 as part of the venue’s 81st anniversary celebration. He likes the fans there, and he likes the way the venue operates.
Of course, fans seem to like him, too. The performer has released more than a dozen albums. He’s called a one-man jam band, and that’s an accurate assessment. Although Williams has performed with several bands (notably, the String Cheese Incident) he enjoys his time on the road as a solo artist, just he and the four or five guitars he’ll play during any given evening. Williams called the Northwest Arkansas Times earlier this week from his home in Virginia. Read more about his solo work, his instruments and his loved for The Grateful Dead in the story we published today (Aug. 22).

Until the shows, here’s something fun. Don’t try this at home, because I can’t imagine it would be easy to duplicate. The song is a looped, live performance of Led Zeppelin’s “Ramble On” as performed by Williams:
