Keller’s Cellar

Keller's CellarOne of the things that makes Keller Williams such a great musician is his influences and choice of cover songs. He plays everything from Grateful Dead to Billy Joel to Bill Monroe to Marley to Funk to Punk to Bluegrass. His influences include Michael Hedges, Ani DiFranco, Jerry Garcia, String Cheese Incident, and many many more. So its a natural transition for Keller to host a radio show in which he plays his favorite music. Enter Keller’s Cellar, a radio show hosted by Keller that is as eclectic ast the music that Keller plays.

On a side note, have you heard Keller’s new release with the Keel’s, Grass? If not check it out today, its very bluegrassy and contains some new territory for both Keller, Larry, and Jenny Keel.

Don’t forget to vote for Keller at this year’s Jammys.

Derek Trucks Band Photograph

All those bad apples out there trying to ruin it for everybody else really make my skin boil. Some selfish heartless bastard stole most of Derek Trucks Bands’ gear in Georgia last Thursday while Trucks was playing a show in New York with the Allman Brothers Band. Here is the official statement from derektrucks.com:

DTB Gear Stolen
As many of you already know, the band’s trailer was stolen last Thursday night with all of our stage gear. We really appreciate everyone’s concern and support. The gear was insured so we’re not looking for donations, just asking for everyone to keep an eye out for the gear in their local communities and online since many items were unique and irreplaceable. Since the trailer was stolen in Atlanta it would be helpful if fans/friends in the southeast would contact their local music stores that buy used gear and give them the list below to keep an eye out. Everyone else should keep an eye on websites that deal in vintage gear. Thanks again for your concern.Key items to keep an eye out for:Pearl 5-piece Drum Kit (Black) (SN# 652623, 642341, 83233, 6526231, 652163)Fender Super Reverb Combo Amp

I really hope they catch the fools that did that.
