There are few singer-songwriters that have the ability to initiate a dance party in the chair-laden State Theatre, much less maintain it for over two and a half hours as the sole entertainer on stage. But Keller Williams is no ordinary singer-songwriter. Friday night, while Jay-Z rocked the BJC, Keller was welcomed back to State College with a sold-out theatre full of devoted fans. The one-man jam-band and festival circuit legend proceeded to deliver one of the most impressive performances of recent memory.
