The 14th Annual NedFest in Nederland, CO is only weeks away and the festival will feature the first time collaboration of longtime music friends and colleagues Keller Williams, Kyle Hollingsworth, Steve Kimock and Dave Watts. The three-day outdoor music, arts and microbrew festival features bluegrass, jazz, jam and world music, making this fusion a natural fit to close out the weekend.
In other Keller-collaboration news, the ever-prolific Williams has just released Pick(July 3, 2012/SCI Fidelity Records) with The Travelin’ McCourys. www.kellerwilliams.net and www.travelinmccourys.com.
It’s only after you hear Pick that you come to the inescapable realization that this is a meeting that was predestined. Williams, the über-distinctive singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who’s been described as a “one-man band for the new millennium,” is a tireless musical seeker for whom repetition is never an option. And The Travelin’ McCourys – bluegrass royalty nonpareil with a sharp eye toward innovation – have similarly been dubbed “twenty-first century musical pilgrims and adventurers.”
As always, the ever-prolific Keller Williams will perform this summer in several of his many incarnations. Look for Keller Williams with The Travelin’ McCourys at select summer festivals. Plus, catch Williams’ solo show, at a handful of dates as Keller and The Keels, and with his funkiest outfit to date, Kdubalicious. The complete list of Keller’s currently confirmed tour dates is listed below.
