Bob Weir & RatDog and Keller Williams will cross the country this summer, sharing a stage both separately and together, making music and doing what they do best. The Bob Weir & Ratdog with Keller Williams tour will begin in Atlanta on July 7th and end in Los Angeles on July 28th.
Bob Weir is a founding member of the legendary Grateful Dead. Bob Weir founded RatDog as a duo in 1995, and over the succeeding years he has enlisted Jay Lane (drums), Jeff Chimenti (keyboards), Mark Karan (lead guitar), Kenny Brooks (saxophone), and Robin Sylvester (bass). RatDog plays not only Bob Weir's various solo material but the complete G. D. repertoire, and has evolved from an elegant duo to a snarling beast of a rock band that contains a jazz trio at its heart.
Keller Williams has been called guitar’s mad-scientist and a one-man-band for the new millennium. Keller Williams is considered by some, but not by himself, to be a master of the acoustic guitar. Keller Williams is known for his ability to solo over layers of spontaneously created loops. Keller Williams is a generous performer who plays down-to-earth acoustic music that defies any effort to find a convenient pigeonhole. If pressed for a definition, Keller Williams, as adept with language as he is with a guitar pick, calls it solo, acoustic jazzfunk reggae technograss – or simply - solo acoustic dance music.
Sometimes musicians tour together purely because of business. Bob Weir & Ratdog and Keller Williams actually like each other, as evidenced by the tune “Cadillac” on Keller William’s recently released new album on SciFidelity, Dream, a duet between Keller Williams and Bob Weir.
