Keller Williams will be performing this Thursday as part of the free summer concert series here in upstate NY. For those of you who are not familiar with Keller Williams he hails from Fredericksburg, VA and plays a combination of folk music, bluegrass, and reggae, alternative, and funk.Keller puts on a unique performance by hooking his Gibson guitar into a Echoplex delay system. This allows him to create loops on stage so he can have the sound of an entire band while only performing by himself on stage. Instruments that he plays include the harmonica, trumpet, didgeridoo and a host of other assorted instruments.Be sure to check back this weekend for pics, show download information, and a full review.Here’s a video of Keller performing “Freaker By The Speaker”enjoy![youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7TQRbGBviU[/youtube]

Last night was awesome once again. We were treated to our 5th free jam band of the summer courtesy of Buffalo Place at the “Thursday In The Square” concert series.

The John Butler Trio jammed out for two solid hours. The set started with “I Used To Get High” at 7pm and closed out with a three song encore just after 9pm.

The highlight of the show was a 6 minute drum solo in the middle of “Good Excuse” where drummer Michael Barker lit the crowd up. At one point I had to pull my head away from my video camera to check and see if there was a 2nd drummer on the stage with him because he was playing with drum sticks in one hand and with the other hand he was playing percussions.

Thanks to Daniel Goodwin has already uploaded a recording of the show to The Archive. (click for details.)

Here’s a few songs performed live at the show last night. I was able to video tape the entire set so I will be posting more songs to YouTube over the weekend.

enjoy!

One of the best show’s I’ve seen this year was Umphrey’s McGee. Quite a few of my friends have raved about this band and I had heard them quite a bit on Sirius but I was never really all that into them. That is until I saw them truly rock Lafayette Square in Buffalo. These guys have a unique electronic jam band sound unlike any other band on the scene.

You can download the entire show at The Archive or click HERE to grab the zipped MP3’s of the show directly.
