Keller Williams stops at Marin County’s beloved Grate Room at Terrapin Crossroads on August 30 and 31 for two nights of very special shows.
On Friday, August 30, Keller delivers his stellar signature solo performance during set one. Then, for set two, Keller and his 6-piece funk band dubbed More Than A Little hit the stage performing new, super-funky versions of Williams’ originals and an unexpected collection of cover songs that pays deep homage to the genre’s roots.
