Meet the Artists:
Dave Keller has made quite a name for himself. He’s earned three Blues Music Award nominations for Best Soul Blues Album of the Year (2014, 2019, 2021). He won the International Blues Challenge’s Best Self-Produced Album Award (2012). He and his band tour constantly, performing at top festivals and venues throughout the U.S. and Europe, winning fans one livewire show at a time.
Thirty years ago, in the icy mountains of Vermont, Dave Keller set forth to play the music he loved: deep Blues. Self-taught as a singer, and armed with an old Yamaha acoustic guitar, Keller learned his lessons on the bandstand. Within a few years, he had switched to electric, put together a funky trio, and was gigging throughout New England. Turns out he had a knack for making people feel good. And writing memorable songs. Before long he had a small army of loyal fans.
Along the way, he fell in love with Memphis Soul. Mentors appeared. Mighty Sam McClain, one of the very deepest Soul/Blues singers, befriended Keller. Legendary guitarist Ronnie Earl (Roomful of Blues) invited Keller to sing and co-write with him (2010’s Living In The Light). Robert Ward, the mystic guitarist of Dry Branch, Georgia, struck up a friendship with Keller as well. And during the past decade, Keller has performed regularly with his close friend Mississippi Soul/Blues master Johnny Rawls.
So many unforgettable experiences: backing up Fontella Bass of “Rescue Me” fame, recording with Al Green’s original Hi Rhythm Section, hanging out in the studio with Bobby “Blue” Bland.
Today, Keller is a more than just a torchbearer for the music he loves. He is an award-winning recording artist, a powerful performer, and a top-notch songwriter, bringing his thrilling shows to stages around the world.
