Keller Williams.

Giving you the music a day early:

While he’s performed with artists such as String Cheese Incident and Yonder Mountain String Band, and occasionally plays with guitarist Gibb Droll and drummer Jeff Sipe, Keller Williams is better known as a one-man jamband. On stage, Williams utilizes an Echoplex Digital Pro looping unit to construct his backing music that includes touches of bluegrass, folk, alternative rock, electronica, jazz, funk, lounge and Afrobeat, allowing Williams to alternate between instruments in creating his off-the-wall music. Williams visits Revolution Music Room with tickets for the 18-and-up show $19 advance and $23 day of show. The music will start at 8:30 p.m., and there’s no opening act. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Cody Belew & the Mercers visit Cajun’s Wharf for a night of party anthems, blue-eyed soul and rock ‘n’ roll classics as the crooner works his way through a collection of recognizable hits with his crack backing band: Gregg McGowan and Matt Stone on guitars, Ivan Yarbrough on bass, Jason McHughes on drums, and Dave and Christy Williams on saxophones. The music starts at 9:30 p.m. with a $5 after 8:30 p.m.
