Dave Keller is a singer/guitarist who has forged a style uniquely his own -- intense and soulful, gritty and sweet. Like the best blues and soul men before him, Keller learned his art firsthand from the masters: Mighty Sam McClain, Paul Rishell, Fontella Bass, and the late great Robert Ward. Keller is a featured singer and co-writer on Living in the Light, the newest CD by legendary guitarist Ronnie Earl.Based in Vermont, Keller’s reputation for dynamic, soul-stirring performances extends throughout New England. His band, The Dave Keller Band, features Jan Schultz on Fender bass, Brett Hoffman on drums, and Ira Friedman on Hammond organ. Keller also performs in solo and duo settings.
