Enjoy live music and good vibes at the 7th Annual Fire on the Mountain Festival, January 29-February 1.
Keller Williams' Grateful Grass
Keller Williams' loose interpretations of Grateful Dead songs, combined with his love of bluegrass and psychedelic improv, have led him to the creation of Keller Williams' Grateful Grass. This project, featuring a rotating lineup of members, offers a unique twist on the traditional Grateful Dead songs that we've all come to know and love.
"If you like singing along to Dead songs in that song’s normal tempo but dancing double time to the music, this is definitely your jam" - KW
