Just to start some speculation here... Keller's also playing Gratefulfest at Nelsons Ledges in Ohio (great venue) the same weekend as Nateva. He's doing 2 performances, one as Keller and the Keels doing Deadgrass (wow) and then a Keller solo dance set. Can we hope for something similar at Nateva? Maybe not Deadgrass, but maybe some stuff off of his Grass album with the Keels? I'm a big fan of that album, and I'd love to see some of it live.
On a different note, if for some reason I can't make it to Maine, Nelsons Ledges is less than 2 hours from me, so at least I'll get to see Keller either way over 4th of July!

It's so odd because on KellerWilliams.net he lists almost all his tour dates as what they are (Keller with Friends, Keller & Added Bonus, Keller Solo Loopless Acoustic) except Nateva is just listed as Keller Williams.
That leads me to believe it will be solo.......i'd love to see him go wild on stage. I'm really looking forward to his set.

My favorite Keller shows are Keller solo shows. It's a heck of a spectacle and he's all over the place. I've seen Keller w/ WMDs a couple of times and it was okay, nothing special.

I've seen with the WMDs and while it was awesome......I really need to catch him doing the looping stuff. I've only heard it on his CD "Stage" and have yet to witness him solo. Hoping it's some kind of solo/looping show. |

I've seen Keller in many various set ups. My favorite was Keller w/ Steve Kimock & John Molo at Haymaker Fest in '05.

I've never really liked any Keller project except when he's by himself.

the vids i've seen of keller with a band seem really sweet, but the looping act is something that just can't be beat.

News about Keller's next album: Keller Williams releases his first-ever all-covers collection, amusingly titled Thief, on May 25, 2010. Recorded with The Keels — husband and wife duo Larry and Jenny Keel — Thief includes songs originally written and recorded by as wildly diverse an assemblage as anyone's ever likely to dream up.
Keller is on tour this summer - at solo shows, with The Keels, and even for a run of gigs as vocalist/guitarist in The Rhythm Devils, the project by Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann and his partner percussionist Mickey Hart. Keller's complete list of currently confirmed tour dates is included below.
Thief offers up Keller-versions of songs by an (almost) unthinkable collection of artists: from Amy Winehouse ("Rehab") to the Grateful Dead ("Mountains of the Moon"), the Butthole Surfers ("Pepper") to Kris Kristofferson ("Don't Cuss That Fiddle," which opens the album, and "The Year 2003 Minus 25," which closes the album). The set is filled out with tunes by Ryan Adams, the Presidents of the United States of America, The Raconteurs, Patterson Hood, Danny Barnes, Cracker, Yonder Mountain String Band and Marcy Playground. All over the place, indeed, but that's the way Williams likes it. And in his hands it all makes sense — like everything he's ever touched, whether from his own pen or someone else's, it all becomes Keller Williams' music.
Keller's thirst for music of all kinds has also led him to the world of radio. For the past seven years he has hosted Keller's Cellar, a weekly syndicated program available on over 40 terrestrial stations and online at /www.kellerwilliams.net. Williams describes the show as "a self-indulgent, hour-long narrated mix tape of stuff I'm into. It's rule-less except for what the FCC says we can't do. I don't play contemporary country music. I don't play contemporary Christian music — however, there is possibly some old gospel. I don't play opera. Everything else is fair game. World music from all around — African music from all the countries, jazz, funk, reggae, techno, chill, lounge, lounge singers, rub-a-dub, dancehall. I pretty much stay away from smooth jazz. It's definitely a fun outlet for me."
Long considered one of the most unique and prolific performers in all of rock, the Fredericksburg, Virginia native is known for flying by the seat of his pants onstage, utilizing an unorthodox approach that centers around an Echoplex Digital Pro looping unit, which allows Keller to alternate between several instruments on stage.source: jambase.com |

Haven't seen him since his solo set at moe. down '05, and it was one of my favorite sets from that fest. I'm looking forward to seeing what he busts out. Should be a lot of fun.

I'm hoping it's Keller solo, though his new Thiefs CD with the Keels is pretty good. But solo Keller is where it's at.

His website lists all variations for the different dates. Nateva is listed as Keller Solo. Just saw Keller w/ Mosley and Austin at DelFest. Larry Keel sat in but they didn't do anything from Thief.

I'm so glad that my first time seeing Keller is a solo show - so far I'm much more impressed with his looping skills than any band of his I've heard.
