Jim Keller Show –MONDAY SHOW–

Jim Keller brings the Jim Keller Show to McCabe’s Guitar Shop for a Monday night performance. The available information identifies Keller as the performer behind the billing, but does not confirm the formation for this date or whether it draws on the collaborators named for other McCabe’s presentations. No further details about the set, guests, or a release context have been announced in the material available.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Keller moved to San Francisco and launched Tommy Tutone. He is widely known as the band’s co-founder and as a songwriter and performer on the power-pop hit “867-5309/Jenny,” before returning to recording and performing under his own name. His later work draws on American roots music while, as one review puts it, he “does not slot easily into any one genre”; another simply calls it “Not traditional blues; [just] great music.” Americana UK describes Keller as “at heart” a songwriter. His album By No Means involved Mitchell Froom and co-producer David Boucher, with David Hidalgo, Bob Glaub, and Michael Urbano featured, while a review praised his “sober, somewhat monotonous but very spellbinding” delivery and “carefully crafted, rich” music.
