Keller Williams finally brought his WMDs to New York City, where the band performed two well-played sets for the crowd at the Nokia Theater on February 21. The WMDs is one helluva all-star unit with Gibb Droll (Marc Broussard) on lead guitar, Keith Moseley (SCI) on bass and Jeff Sipe (ARU, Leftover Salmon, Trey Anastasio) keeping the beat. While Keller always puts on a good solo show, it was really nice to see him surrounded by three ridiculously good musicians.

Keller and the WMDs played a fun mix of covers, KW originals and even a String Cheese tune. The show started with Keller on his Gibson SG playing wirelessly from off-stage. As the band took the stage Keller led them through a few originals including the dynamic Juggler, which quickly segued into Dee Lite’s Groove Is In The Heart and back again. Read on for more of Jeremy’s photos…

Also of note was a particularly hot cover of the Dead’s Eyes of the World, a version that sounded straight out of 1974. Moseley and Sipe both kept unhuman rhythms and Gibb Droll dropped one blistering run after another all night long. It wasn’t hard to keep my feet moving all night long.

Let’s check out some of Jeremy Gordon’s incredible photos from the evening:
