Keller Williams at Animas City Theatre
Keller Williams is back in Durango on Friday night at the Animas City Theatre for The Keller Williams KWahtro featuring Gibb Droll, Danton Boller and Rodney Holmes.
Williams is the quintessential indie artist – and his live shows are not to be missed. Along with his acoustic music, Williams also creates samples during the show – what’s called live phrase sampling or looping. What you get with him is a hybrid of alternative folk and electronica.
Doors open at 8 p.m., and Williams takes the stage at 9. Tickets are $32/$35, and you can get them at Rocky Mountain High, Southwest Sound and online at www.durangomassive.com.
