Keller Williams: Part I

Signing up for email lists has its perks... in this case, we realized Keller was coming to town with some group called The Keels. We bought our tickets and began planning. Before long we were standing on the floor about two rows deep, my sister wondered if the balcony might be better. She and her friend took off to scope it out. As we signaled back in forth in an effort to make a decision, the lights went down and my sister was gone for the first set...

First Set
We hear the guitar before we see the man, but this time instead of being alone he is followed out by an older man with a grey beard and a lady with blond hair. Aha! These are The Keels. All three smiled as they bounced and played both familiar as well as unfamiliar songs and performed choreographed dance moves. I noticed wedding rings all around and deduced that The Keels are a married couple (although I must admit I pondered for a moment other strange relationships they may have with each other).

Keller Williams and The Keels, 02.04.07, Rams Head Live! Baltimore MD

The music was pleasant and folksy. Very folksy. "Bluegrassy". I had time to notice Keller's new crows feet and I felt warm as I realized this Keller had grown up. And so had his music. This tour was designed, it seemed to introduce the new sound of Keller Williams that has evolved.

None of this, is to say the music was bad, or that the performance let me down - but that I was experiencing something new. Something I had not fully expected (though in retrospect I should have). Off to my right, some kid was dancing with glow sticks and I wondered if he had ever heard real Bluegrass. It's not the kind of music I imagine use dance to with glow sticks!
