Today’s Top Tips for Live Music (December 2, 2023)

Best Bet: Keller Williams @ Lark Hall, 351 Hudson Ave., Albany, 7-11 p.m.

Sure the Jonas Brothers are in Albany and the Ramble is happening in Woodstock, but have you ever seen Keller Williams? If not, head over to Lark Hall tonight. Williams is known for his eclectic blend of bluegrass, folk, alternative rock, reggae, electronica, jazz, and funk. He’s also the master of the loop and was the first musician I’ve seen do it. That was a long time ago, but it still hits every time I get to see a Keller show.  You’ll love it, so go early to enjoy The Eleven downstairs. Tell them “Nipper” sent you.
