Genre hopping multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Keller Williams will bring his signature solo looping show to The Caribou Room on February 10. Williams has built a reputation for his dynamic and unpredictable solo performances, where he creates samples on the fly using a special looping effect live on stage, playing both original songs and select covers. Nothing is pre-recorded and no two shows are alike, making for a completely unique experience of sonically infused alt-folk and groovy electronica.

The jamtronica group FloatGoat, from Denver, CO, is announcing the release of their newest single "Scrumpies".

The licks get scrumpadellic in this track, but always expect more improvisation in a live performance.
