Montpelier-based Dave Keller has been on the road for much of 2022, performing with his band in Europe and throughout the U.S. In early November they holed up in a cabin in the Adirondacks and recorded twelve of Keller’s best road-tested original songs. Now Keller is hoping to turn these recordings into an album.
On Dec. 5 the renowned soul/blues singer/guitarist launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the album. Fans who contribute will receive rewards including everything from autographed albums, signed limited-edition posters, and Keller’s own journal notes to photos from recording sessions. Bigger donors can sign up to have Keller perform for them and their friends and family or to create an original song with Keller.
The only hitch with Kickstarter is that it’s “all or nothing.” Keller has until Jan. 2 to meet his fundraising goal. So to help promote his Kickstarter campaign, and to ring in 2023, Keller will perform at Bethany Church in Montpelier, featuring songs from the upcoming album. (Visit Kickstarter.com to join Keller’s campaign.)
The concert will take place at Bethany Church on New Year’s Eve at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., all ages welcome. Tickets are $20 in advance at eventbrite.com; $25 day of show. For more information, info@davekeller.com or 802-229-2737.
