Keller Williams & the Travelin’ McCourys/ Charlie Hunter & Scott Amendola Duo Sponsored by CONNECT SAVANNAH/CHARLES & ROSALIE MORRIS, LIVE OAK RESTAURANT GROUP & JT TURNER CONSTRUCTION CO. and WSAV Additional support by Enmark
Known for his energetic “one man band” live shows, guitarist/songwriter Keller Williams joins forces with The Travelin’ McCourys (top right): Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo), along with fiddler Jason Carter and bassist Alan Bartram. McCoury fans, used to seeing the boys tour with Del in the lead, will now get to see them playing their songs with Mr. Williams on guitar. This new collaboration is a combination of instrumental virtuosos, memorable songwriting, infectious musical camaraderie and undeniable energy. Eight-string guitarist Charlie Hunter (top left) came out of the Bay Area jazz scene in the early 1990s, and has forged a unique musical path with his ability to play bass lines, chords and melody lines simultaneously with just two hands. Since that time he has worked with drummer Scott Amendola, who joins him on this occasion in a project fusing elements of funk, blues and jazz. “ Charlie Hunter is both incredibly swift with technique and open to the spontaneity of –NPR’s World Café improvisation.”
