about

Ever since renowned guitarist Ronnie Earl chose Dave Keller to sing on his album Living In The Light, Keller's star has been on the rise. In just a few short years, Keller has been nominated for a Blues Music Award for Best Soul/Blues Album, won the International Blues Challenge Best Self-Released CD Award, and been chosen for Downbeat's Best Recordings of the Year.

With his new CD, Every Soul's a Star, (release date: 10/19/18) on esteemed soul/blues label Catfood Records, Keller fulfills the promise of his earlier recordings.

Produced by multiple-Grammy-winning legend Jim Gaines (Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Miller, Tower of Power, Luther Allison, etc.), Keller's vocals and guitar playing shine on ten new originals, plus one very cool tribute to Aretha Franklin.

Catfood flew Keller out to El Paso, TX, where he recorded with their top shelf studio band, The Rays. Of special note is guitarist Johnny McGhee, whose spot-on sweet soul licks have propelled albums by Marvin Gaye, The Five Stairsteps, Johnny Rawls, and countless top soul artists.

Catfood label head Bob Trenchard, who met Keller through their mutual friend Johnny Rawls, says, “Dave is one of the best songwriters I've ever been around.” Bringing in producer Jim Gaines proved to be a brilliant move on Trenchard's part, as Keller and Gaines hit it off immediately.

“I love Dave's vocals. Dave has a remarkable voice,” says Gaines, the man responsible for some of the most revered albums in modern music. With Gaines' guidance, Keller outdoes his previous work; his vocals are at once powerful and intimate.

The Revelations are the backing band on my CD, "Where I'm Coming From". Quite frankly they are one of the finest soul units anywhere. Tre Williams sings like Al Green meets Bobby Womack! Dave Keller
