We've seen Keller a dozen or more times in the last year and a half and always find ourselves anticipating the next show. Keller played for a packed house in Tampa Saturday night at the State Theater; the vibe was strong and the faces were smiling and eager. When Keller plays solo, his performance depends on the crowd, which was top notch this night.

He started the show in his usual manner; a lonesome arsenal of instruments coated with house lights sits while he starts to pick his guitar. He walks out of the shadows and paces back and forth on the front of the stage while playing his opening instrumental to create an intimate atmosphere with his fans. He then quickly broke into “All Apologies” (Nirvana) which got the crowd going setting the vibe for the night. Keller started to tap into the crowd halfway through the first set and gave them exactly what they came for, a high-energy dance jam that went on for a few songs. Set break hit and everyone took a much needed break and some fresh air.

Keller has a unique ability to captivate people from all walks and of all ages, completely by himself. As a seasoned veteran of the scene, he always finds a way to keep his shows fresh for his long time followers while giving his new fans a night they will never forget. Keller is out on tour supporting his new album “Kids,” for more tour info visit kellerwilliams.net.
