In Episode 27 of the Music Festivals Podcast, I talk with Keller Williams about his long and amazing musical career, and what has allowed him to produce 35 records in just over 30 years! 😮 He's shares that he'll be adding a few more projects to that list over the course of 2025.

We cover a ton of his current projects and tour stops, as well as how he started looping in the first place. You'll want to hear about the cool new iPhone app that Keller has used to create tracks like Two Lips/Tulips as well as other EDM-inspired songs he classifies as "Acoustic Dance Music". We even get into what it was like to preform at a few festivals with his daughter Ella.

Plus, hear some insider info about his plans for the upcoming Whippersnap Music & Arts Festival happening at the Florida Sand Music Ranch from Feb 19-22, 2025.
